    Hi all,

    I might have this in the wrong forum, but anyway..
    I want to know if Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 will work with windows 7?
    and if not, would you recommend any other c++ dev environment that will?

    Thanks

    Quick answer - yes!

    And if you miss the bus, VS2010 will be along shortly. :)

    Excellent, just wanted to be sure before I upgrade it... did a quick Google about it, and saw that some people seem to have some issues.

    Am working in a university, and they don't have VS2010 yet, so thats not really an option.

    God I'm coming across like a real dumbo here :(
    I should qualify that statement a bit more.. my university just got VS2008 in the last couple of months... so even though VS2010 will be released soon(~ish) there is little chance that they'll get it anytime soon.

    You mean your University only gave you access to 2008 in the last couple of months :)

    Download 2010 Beta from here - http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010/default.mspx

    I installed windows 7 on an old pc to try it out with VS2008, and I'm getting a debug time error where its looking for MSVCR90.dll

    I vaguely recollect having this problem before with Vista, but can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it.... any ideas?

    EDIT: It wasn't actually a vs2008 problem at all, it was caused by one of the libraries that I am using, which is linking statically.. was an easy fix when i thought about it, I just needed to upgrade the library to a VS2008 compatible version.
