Visual Studio 2005 on Vista – Open Solution
-
I have changed the privilege level of this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe I changed it to “Run this program as an administrator” The problem is now when I click on a solution file VS2005 does not open (nothing happens). Has anyone else had the same problem? If so how do you get VS2005 to run as admin and be able to open the solution file by clicking on it. Thank you

You're trying to actually get some work done under Vista. Cancel or allow?

i changed the shortcut to vista to run as admin rather than the exe and it works OK. I extended the MRU list on the file menu so that most of the projects i'm likely to need are there from the start. It doesn't elevate though if I double click a sln file which is a slight PIA. Russell

I actually like it for the most part -- although admittedly for my dev work it would be better if MS made their own product (MSVC 2005) "Vista Compatible" so I wouldn't need the extra account without UAC.

Not if you're working on a corporate system where they've locked you out of doing pretty much anything, including turning off UAC...
