Visual Studio installation issues on Windows Server 2008 (64 bit)
-
Due to a problem with one of my ASP.NET applications I set out to install: 1. Visual Studio 2005 - known compatibility issues with OS as prompted AFTER the installation process; no relevant SP found that is compatible with the OS. The closest I got was to try and install the version available for Vista, however, this is an x86 version and does not install anyway. 2. Visual Studio 2008 + SP1 - Installation due to corrupt file dexplore.exe. Any idea where to get this file?
