Upgading to IVF 10

[gelarimer]

Currently have IVF 9 on XP machine running in Visual C++ 2003 NET.

Needupgrade to IVF 10that willrun on Vista machine,and would liketo keep a basicVisual C++ capability.

Will IVF 10 integrate with the MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, ordo I needVS2008?

Thanks for any commentsinformation.

IVF10 will not give you the IDE (visual development environment) with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, that combination is for command-line use only. IVF10 does include Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition, but that doesn't give you C++.

If you're moving to Vista (and I'd have to ask why), and you need C++ and Fortran together, then I would recommend Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition. If however you are not doing mixed-language programming, then you can use the VS2005PPE in IVF10 and VC2008 Express for C++ - they will be separate environments. Be sure to wait to install VC2008 Express until after IVF is installed.

How about IVF10 with VS2005 Standard?

That works fine.

Steve,
I currently have VS2003 on W2K (with IVF9.1.038 or whatever the final v9 is). Can I install my VS2003 onto a Vista machine, and then upgrade to IVF10? (ie, does VS2003 work on Vista), or do I also have to "upgrade" to VS2005 or VS2008? The "PPE" version of VS is useless to me, since it lacks the Windows resource editor.

It seemed to work when I played with it for a short time, but is not supported. You'll have to make sure that you start the VS environment "as administrator". Vista will complain about it, though.
