Does anyone know if it is possible to install Visual Studio 2003 on Vista
Beta 2?
As ASP.Net development, with local debugging, requires Frontpage Server
Extensions, which is not included on IIS7, the installation of the web
components of vs2003 fails (FPSE being a prerequisite).
I have tried a manual install of FPSE but this fails on Vista.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

I think you can just skip the installation of FPSE unless you need
ASP.NET debugging.

You can debug though. Simply start IE (outside of VS) ... go to the
page you are trying to debug. Then, in the IDE, choose Debug /
Processes ... attach to the W3WP process ... and you're breakpoints,
etc will all function just fine. (I'm writing this from memory, hope I
got the details correct).
