Hi,
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a 64-bit platform (Windows 7). The version in about section reads Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
I need to install the Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 but the installer available is for 32 bit (VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe) This does not install on 64 bit system.
How do I get Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 installed ?
P.S- On the network I work on, I can see a Windows 2008 (64 bit) system with the version of Visual Studio 2005 that reads Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) but I dont know how that was installed. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wilson

Which edition of VS 2005 did you install?
Barry listed two SP1 links for you. The first is for Express editions only. The second is for "full" VS 2005 versions (Standard, Professional, etc.).

Hello WillisB,
I think your concern is the name X86 here. Actually Visual Studio is x86 version and we do not have a x64 version Visual Studio. So if you install Visual Studio on X64 version, it is also available. And when you see this page http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=7524 You can see the system requirements:
Supported Operating System
Windows 7; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Vista
-
- Processor/RAM: Vista hardware requirements.
- Required Software: licensed copy of a Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
So please don't mind the name x86, the update can still be installed on Win 7 x64.
By the way, to install Visual Studio 2005 on Win 7, please check YiChun's post on this thread:
"To apply Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7, please check the following points step by step:
- Download Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and install it
Visual Studio® 2005 Express Editions Service Pack 1
Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1 for Standard or above edition - Download Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista and install it
- When launch Visual Studio 2005, please run it with administrator privileges
(Right-click the icon >> "Run as Administrator")"
By the way, Visual Studio 2005 is out of our mainstream support, what about change to use some new version of VS? For example, Visual Studio 2013 Community version.
Best regards,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your reply .I get the error below when trying to install the SP1. I was thinking this is because it is not supported on 64 bit.

Have you, in fact, installed VS 2005 on your system?
You cannot install SP1 until VS 2005 is installed.

Yes, I have installed VS2005. I need to install SP1.
The reason I need SP! is that I need to integrate QT with Visual Studio. Without SP1, the integration has issues.

Wilson

@WillisB,
By the way, why not using some higher version of VS? Does QT here support any higher version than VS2005? You'd better consult them about this version info. I think using the latest version of VS will be much better.
Best regards,
Barry
