On my Vista machine, while installing VS 2015 CE, the installer shows message "the specified program requires new version of windows".
Is there anything special we have to do to install VS 2015 CE or it does not support Vista?
Thank you

I saw a previous post "Visual Studio 2017 build tools not installing on windows server 2012".
The dialog says: "This version of Windows is not supported." Also a link to download some patches for WIN 8.0 is included (the msi do not run on WIN 2012 R2)
Visual Studio 2017 build tools not installing on windows server 2012
The "Answer" was to upgrade WIN SRV 2012 to "R2".
I am already on R2 and I have the same issue.
Can anyone help with a solution?
Im trying to install Visual Studio 2013 in my laptop with windows Vista but it tells me that i dont have an appropiate system can i install this version (VS 2013) in windows vista? i already have VS 2008 & 2010
I already tried to install it but it show me a message box and does not let me install it, is there any version for windows vista?
As of Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft has limited compatibility to Windows 7 or higher. If you want to run Visual Studio on a Vista operating system, you will need Visual Studio 2010 or 2008. Here's a link to the 2010 express edition: http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#DownloadFamilies_4
I am installing on Windows 8 OS Visual Studio 2010 express for Windows Phone with Async CTP for that I have installed Visual Studio 2010 express for Windows Phone as shown below:
I am now installing Windows Phone SP1 from link http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=23691
But it is always giving me error as shown below:
How should I use Async CTP. My goal is to use Async and Await in Windows Phone 7.1 application with Visual Studio 2010 and not in Visual Studio 2012?
The Service Pack you try to install is not provided for Windows 8:
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-Bit x86), Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 editions,
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2008 R2,
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Service Pack 2,
Windows XP Service Pack 3.
The second bad news: "Using async/await without .NET Framework 4.5" http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2012/10/22/using-async-await-without-net-framework-4-5.aspx
In order to use await you need two components:
Visual Studio 2012
Some specific .NET APIs
Maybe you want to use VS Express 2012 or the trial Version of VS 2012: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2012-editions instead of VS2010?
The new VS 2012 language and library features are
available in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop,
including the async and await keywords in Visual Basic and C#, C++ AMP,
and improvements to C++ 11 Standards conformance.
You can use Express for Windows Desktop with
your Visual Basic and C# applications to target both .NET 4.0 and 4.5.
This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm asking because my boss wants to know. What is the minimum Windows OS for binaries created with Visual Studio 2010? Not all the developers on the team have the Windows SDK installed. I know with it you can target down to Windows XP, but any idea what you can target without Windows SDK?
Actually you set WINVER in any header file before the core window.h is included, this determines which OS is required by the binary.
