Visual Studio 2003 install & update under Windows 7 or Vista. Need to know if Visual Studio 2003 can be installed under Win 7, Vista, XP or a 64 bit machine for Academic license I'd like to use if possible. May 29, 2017  I know you can't run it on 10 S as it is, and I'm not sure if Microsoft would even be able to port Visual Studio to the Store as a full UWA without making some serious compromises that might affect the programs effectiveness and performance, while also diluting the Visual Studio name with further versions that may or may not work as well.

1. Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Windows 7 can get along – Seriously Technikhil Writing Looks like you should be OK as long as you are able to load your projects, but is suggested to run the program in XP Mode instead. Windows XP Mode - Install and Setup A Guy.
2. Install Visual Studio.NET 2002 in 64-bit Windows: Visual Studio.NET 2002 was the first version of Visual Studio to support development for the.NET framework. However, it refuses to install on 64-bit operating systems. There is a workaround though which involves modifying a few files.NOTICE.
3. Aug 11, 2017  good day sir/ma'am, Before my windows 10 build 1511 the Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 is working properly. But after the windows 10 update to build 1703 the Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 is now not working anymore. I'm not able to open my project.
4. 2) I tried searching for 'Go back to previous version of Windows 10' but this option is not available on the machine. I have to also take note that this is a newly formatted computer, and have been sticking it with new updates for almost 24 hours now. I already installed Visual Studio 2003 on the computer but I cannot run the IDE.
5. Navigate to the VS2003 shortcut (Start-Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003), right-click to get context menu, select Compatibility tab, Settings pane, and check 'Disable visual themes'. The linker failure (LNK1201) happens when you run the program through the debugger, stop it, modify a file and build.

Yes, I know.. I could set up a virtual machine running XP. Unfortunately our build environment is such that we need to be running VC2003, 2005 and 2008 concurrently and it would be much more convenient if I could run 2003 natively on Windows 7 for the few projects we have that require it.

I realize some things may not be available in the IDE, but I was able to run 2003 under windows Vista and if I could get the same base level of functionality under Windows 7 I would be extremely happy.

Right now I get an error opening the *.pdb file when I compile after switching vc2003 to run as Administrator under compatibility mode for XP SP 2.

Thanks!

Give XP Mode a try if you can't get it to run natively.

I wrote a blog entry about this a while back that you can check out - http://technikhil.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/visual-studio-2003-and-windows-7-can-get-along-really/

The only thing I am stuck on right now is the global search functionality of VS 2003 - it hangs the application. My workaround is to use windows 7 search :-). Other than that - so far so good..

Update: I got the search to work as well by disabling the Aero functionality - I have updated my blog post with the details..

I need to run VS2003 as adminstrator under Win7 64-bit, to support legacy projects (e.g. those that run on the original Xbox). The old XDK requires VS2003, so upgrading is not an option. I could run WinXP but I prefer Win7.

VS2003 is not officially supported under Win7 and trying to do so creates a couple of fairly annoying problems:

Find-in-files causes VS2003 to hang.Linking fails due to a PDB file handle leak.The Find-in-files hang is solved by using 'Disable visual themes'. Navigate to the VS2003 shortcut (Start-->Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003), right-click to get context menu, select Compatibility tab, Settings pane, and check 'Disable visual themes'.

The linker failure (LNK1201) happens when you run the program through the debugger, stop it, modify a file and build. The error is that a Visual Studio hold a handle to the PDB file, while the linker tries to write to that file. You can stop and restart VS2003 to bypass the issue. Works but is annoying.

You can also use the Microsoft SysInternals 'handle.exe' utility to find, then close handles held by a process on a particular file. Write a script to call handle.exe and set up the VS2003 project to run that script as a Pre-Build Event. (See this thread.) But handle.exe requires running as admin.

You could hypothetically change handle.exe to run as admin using the usual steps (e.g. as a compatibility setting) but then handle.exe (apparently) runs in a nested shell, and then the stdout text does not get to the calling script.

You can make VS2003 run as admin, in which case the Pre-Build script also runs as admin, hence does handle.exe, and that works.

The remaining trick is to get VS2003 SLN files to open properly. If you simply make VS2003 run as admin automatically then the VS version selector fails to run VS2003. I don't know why, but it is the case.

You could associate SLN files to open using VS2003 devenv.exe instead of VSLauncher.exe. That works but then all new SLN files (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, ..) fail to open.

So the final step then is to make VSLauncher.exe run as admin. This fails as of KB2492386 as this thread indicates. Uninstalling that update was the final step in this saga, to get everything to work.

PATCH NOW AVAILABLE
After some reverse-engineering, I found the incorrectly refcounted COM object responsible for the leak (it was off by 1) and developed a stable patch and corresponding article describing the fix. This addresses problems encountered while using Windows 7 thru Windows 10. Details and download available at:

If you want to perform the patch manually, those details are also included.

Honda gx390 service manual download. NOTE: The SysInternals Handle tool workaround did not work for files on a network-share. The .PDB was not completely unlocked although the Handle tool claimed it was closed. My fix eliminates the problem once and for all and avoids any side effects.

Run this install. You need to run it from the setup directory, the setup.exe on the root of the cd will not work.

Solution i found on the web which helped: For your visual studio, use application compatibility = windows vista SP2, and NOT WinXP SP3

I have a really dirty and pathetic workaround for the pdb problem.

Download and run Sysinternals-ProceXP, press CTRL-F enter the name of pdb(smt like ($ProjectName).pdb) that can't be created while linking. Double click when it is found.(if it can't be found run procexp with administrator priviliges)

Then you will see that the .pdb file is highlighted in the lower pane of the main screen. Right click it and select Close Handle. When you retry building your solution it wont raise an error.

I dont know if this solution can be scripted but it is at least better than restarting visual studio.

I've been using Visual studio 2003 on win7 since the very first RC edition was released :Swhy do people have issues?

I have attempted to install VS2003 on Windows 7 64-bit using the Virtual Windows XP feature. I'm reasonably certain that this will be successful. The issue I ran into is that the installer wants IIS installed, and the XP installation provided by the Virtual XP doesn't have that enabled by default.

If you go to Add/Remove components, and try to add it, it will ask for the disc, which I didn't have on hand. Once I get my hands on the disc, I'm pretty sure that it will run fine.

If you haven't tried it for other apps, the Virtual XP feature is really neat..

I am experiencing the same issue; devenv.exe is leaving pdb files open after running the project. I have made a batch file to work around it, it closes all .pdb files open by devenv.exe:

handle.exe .pdb awk '/devenv.exe/ { split($4, fd, ':'); system('handle.exe -c ' fd[1] ' -y -p ' $3)}'

You will need to have handle.exe by sysinternals and awk by gnu in your path to make it work.

Use at your own risk. Closing handles can cause application or system instability.

In windows 7, there is the compatabiliy mode in the executable properties.open:C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Common7IDEthen right click on the devenv.exe and select properties. In the compatability tab, select the 'Run in compatability mode' and select 'Windows XP' in the dropdown.

Try that, I am not sure if it works, but it is worth a shot.

Can Visual Studio 2003 Run On Windows 10

I am having no problems with Visual Studio 2003 on Windows 7 64-bit.

1. Navigate to VS2003 devenv.exe (probably C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Common7IDEdevenv.exe)
2. Right-click and select Properties
3. In the Compatibility tab, check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'
4. Check 'Run this program as administrator'

I got Visual Studio .NET 2003 Working just fine on my HP EliteBook Workstation 8760W with an I7 processor and 12GB of RAM running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit by doing some advanced steps.They go as follows:

1. Install FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.0.
2. Install Visual Studio .Net 2003. Just skip when the installer command you to configure Frontpage 2002 Server Extensions.
3. Install .Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (download here).
4. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Highlight your machine, then double-click on ISAPI and CGI Restrictions. Change setting for ASP .NET v1.1.4322 to Allowed.

Then it will always show an alert with the following message

This program has compatibility issues..

just ignore that. Also, don't put it in compatibility mode in the properties of the IDE.

I'm sorry, your build environment requires you to have VC 2003, 2005, AND 2008 running concurrently? I would really bet that your efforts would be better spent simply consolidating your build environment to just one environment.
