Can I run Visual Studio 2008 x86 on Windows Vista x64?

 

Is it possible to run the 32-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows Vista 64-bit system?

  • Are there any known caveats that I would need to be aware of?
  • Would have to install the x64 version of the .NET Framework?
  • Would there be any issues on building software targeted for x86?
  • Would there be any (justifiable) arguments for getting the x64 version of VS2008 instead of reusing the current x86 license?

    • Quite tempted on getting a x64 Vista rig to be able to take advantage of more RAM :)

    There is no x64 version of Visual Studio 2008. I'm running the standard 32-bit version on Vista x64 Ultimate and it works fine. There really are no day-to-day issues that I've run across. You just install it and go.

    I'm using VS2008 on x64 right now. This lets me use my full 4GB of RAM. It works, but there are a few corner cases to be aware of:

  • Debugging x64 apps is done with remote debugging from the 32-bit subsystem to the 64-bit subsystem.

  • managed (.NET) apps by default are marked "any platform", which means they're run under 64-bit on an x64 OS. That means that managed debugging is remote by default.

  • There's no Edit-and-Continue when remote debugging, so there's no E&C for .NET on an x64 OS, unless you mark your app as 32-bit-only. Similarly, if you make a native 64-bit app, you can't E&C it.

  • There is no mixed (managed + native) when remote debugging, so you can't debug both managed and native parts of an x64 app.

  • None I know of. I use both Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Team System, and they both seem to work fine on x64.
  • Yes.
  • No.
  • I don't think there is a 64-bit version of VS 2008.

    • Overall, it's smooth sailing for me, so I think you can jump right in.
