Visual Studio .NET 2003 not working on Windows 10

Question

_{Friday, December 29, 2017 1:29 AM}

To Whom It May Concern:

I have Windows 10 and must install Visual Studio .NET 2003.  The install completed successfully but when I try to open, I get an error "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Please, if you have a workaround to this error, let me know.  

Thank you.

Hi Kiki Theuamthalaray，

VS2003 was an old version, it will have the compatibility issues in higher windows Environment. As far as I know, some community members also met this kind of issues before even if using the Windows 7.

If possible, I suggest you use the higher VS version, Microsoft doesn't support the old VS version now like VS2003/VS2005. You could use the community versions which are also free now.

Of course, if you have to use the VS2003, you would think about using the old windows Environment like XP or vista.

Sincerely,

Judy

Is there any other way to solve this problem Microsoft? and not this BS that you give us to just upgrade and use XP or Vista (Of which BOTH OS ARE GARBAGE) can you create an update that where we could use legacy softwares on a windows 10 computer because you do know that most of us BUY your license because we want to have a "Quality" software, not some milking cow corruption.

You want probably also a good way to fit your old 2003 buick lighter in your new Tesla?

You only show your ageing.
