Hi Axel,

Regarding on the VS 2005 prompt for admin permission you mentioned, is it a
dialog popup when you launch vs 2005 and recommend you run as admin
permission?

Based on my research, the behavior you met is probably the same as those
ones who get the "admin privilege" dialog when running VS 2005 on Vista.
This is because Vista and windows server 2008 include UAC which will make
your logon session under a normal low privileged token(even if your account
is an admin account). Sure, most of the developing tasks in VS will not
require admin privilege, and that message is just a recommendation in case
you may require to do some particular tasks such as debugging another
process running under different account...  

You can try either "run as admin privilege" when you launch your vs 2005  
or turn off UAC on the machine.

For thre admin privilege of VS 2005, here is a blog article which also
mentioned some about it:
