    I have Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition installed on a XP OS and I need to install it on a Windows 7 Operating system.

    Is that possible ? Will it work ?

    My older computer died and I would like to switch my development environment to my new Windows 7 Professional computer, without having to spend more money on a new Visual Studio 20??

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ray H

    How are you doing ?

    You say "it will work"........are you saying it will work in Windows 7 OR are you saying it will work using Windows 7 XP Mode. I'd like to avoid installing XP mode if possible. You know me trying to keep it simple.

    Thanks
