Hey everyone,

I know there are known compatibility issues with Visual Studio 2003 & Windows Vista, but I am really trying to get an old VB project running on my machine. I have played with various IIS settings, as a result I got the project to "Start Without Debugging", & I guess I would have to Manually attach the process to w3wp.exe. If I try to just debug with F5, I get the error that the automatically attaching the process w3wp.exe to PCName has failed. Has anyone been able to solve this issue? & only if I set the IIS app pool setting as .net framework 2.0 then can I run it without debugging if i try to put the framework 1.1, then that doesn't work. Any ideas?

Do you have SP1 installed?

Yup, I also ran the latest windows Updates.

After running the updates I noticed now that I have Service Pack 2 installed. Do you think that in a sense this might be causing it?

I am not sure. Does it have to be Visual Studio 2003? Its a bit dated.

Yup I know, I have Visual Studio 2010 working perfectly but this is an old project & I know I can debug it on XP but I am trying to do this on Vista. From the looks of it I think I'll have to Start Without Debugging & then manually attach the process w3wp.exe. I am still not 100% sure if this method will work, can anyone shed some light on this?
