Installing Visual Studio 2003 on Windows 7 64-bit
I managed to install Visual Studio 2003 on a virtual Windows 7 (64 bit) by
- Installing RTR FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.5.
- Letting the installer for VS2003 install the prerequisites.
- Continue installation of VS2003.
If you don't need FPSE (or some other part of the setup) you can always install VS without it.to do so find the file "baseline.dat" in your setup folder, open it with notepad and delete the component.
this should work for visual studio version from 98 up to 2010,for 2013 microsoft has changed it.
the baseline.dat is pretty self explanatory, but if you need any more help please post the file here.
