I am getting an error when the setup autorun executes.
It states that it is not compatible with the 64 bit operating system and does not allow me to install it. Is the VS installer 16 bit? The error also mentions this but I am not sure if it's true.
How can I by-pass this?
If I cannot, can some one suggest another VS that I should purchase? is there a 2008 (or higher) 64 bit version that I should run on windows 7?
I've never had any problems installing VS 2008 Team Suite on Windows 7 x64 RTM. You might have a corrupt installer. Also you may check if this helps.
Not a great help to you, but I am running Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition on Windows 7 64-bit without any issues. My installation was from an MSDN subscription media but it shouldn't make a difference.
There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio 2008 currently.
There is someone here with a similar problem, you could try their solution.

I setup InstallShield Limited Edition 2013 for VisualStudio2013 in win8.1. The setup packet is download from http://learn.flexerasoftware.com/content/IS-EVAL-InstallShield-Limited-Edition-Visual-Studio. And the progress of setup is correctly.But when the setup is finished,I can't find InstallShield in VS's new project(just has Add-in InstallShield Limited Edition). I've tried it in win7/win8, it's works,but win8.1 it's may have something wrong. Anyone can help me? thx
I've searched some answers,but there are all unuseful:
InstallShield LE is not working in vs2013 in windows 8.1
Install Shield Limited Edition in visual Studio 2013 Express
I've solve this question.My system is win8.1 enterprise 64bit,I'm not sure this problem is caused by system or VS or both of them. In the end, I changed my system to win8.1 pro 64bit and everything is correct. And I've try to setup win8.1 enterprise 64bit in VisualMachine, the problem persists. So I guess it's error in win8.1 enterprise. just guess. I have no time to find a solution in win8.1 enterprise , so setup win8.1 pro instead.

My work is currently using Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6). We're looking to finally upgrade our systems.. Our computers are still on Windows XP for goodness sake. We have two options, upgrade to VS 2013 which means we'll have to upgrade our computers to Windows 7 OR upgrade to VS 2010 in which case we can keep Windows XP. We're still on Windows XP because apparently nothing at work is compatible with Windows 7 at the moment, we're working to upgrade everything eventually.
I have the following questions..
Can Visual Studio 2013 run on IIS 6?
If not, is it possible to upgrade to IIS 7 or 8 on Windows Server 2003 or would we have to upgrade the server as well?
Can Visual Studio 2010 run on IIS 6?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Take in consideration that Windows XP (and Windows Vista) are becoming obsolete in a few weeks.
With that been said better make a plan for updating your OS to Windows 7 or 8. So that means you should go with IIS 7 and above.
As per VS I think try 2013 since we are already in 2014.
i can't find this information anywhere. I know that if you install vs2010 express on a 32bit os you need the win7 sdk to build 64 bit, but is it the same the other way round?
EDIT - I am interested in the c++ version, but I guess it's probably the same for others
thanks

By default VS2010 Express will only target Win32. It doesn't matter if you are running Win7-64, MSVC++ Express uses the 32-bit tools unless you install the SDK.
From MSDN:
64-bit tools are not available on Visual C++ Express by default. To enable 64-bit tools on Visual C++ Express, install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) in addition to Visual C++ Express.
I have been able to successfully build and deploy C# apps from a Win 7 64bit machine onto machines running 32 bit Windows XP, Vista and Win 7 without any extra SDK. So far I have had no issues.

I know many have asked the same question but I am still confused that does Visual studio 2008 or 2010 works with 64-bit computers?
Here in this post the answer is that he can run Visual studio on Windows 64 bit OS? How?
Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 both work perfectly on 64-bit machines using the x86 installation.
Yes. They run on 64-bit machines. The included compiler can create 32-bit or 64-bit output.
Both run on 64bit.
Though if you use the Edit and Continue functionality it won't work for 64bit apps and on a 64bit OS it seems to default to 64bit apps so you have to remember to change the target if you want to use that functionality.
Both can run on 64-bit machines.
Visual Studio is not available in 64 bit version, so internals will be in 32bit and they can run in 64bit (WOW enabled).
Also compiler can generate 32bit and 64bit output.
I am having trouble getting x64 compilation to work on Windows 7 RTM (64-bit) with Visual Studio 2008 Professional (both with and without SP1). I have not installed the Windows 7 SDK, as Microsoft suggests might be the issue. The problem is that there are no x64/64-bit choices in the Configuration Manager of Visual Studio.
I do not have the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition" suggested in the link above installed on my computer. Any ideas what might fix this?
I have checked that I have the x64 compiler and tools installed with Visual Studio.
Solution found: Uninstall VS completely and reinstall. Issue resolved after SP1 installed (again). Very strange.
Are you using VS 2008 Express Edition?
You can add the x64 targets to the build configuration manually by downloading the Windows SDK (which include all the x64 compilers/linkers/libs/headers/... ) and following the instructions in this link:
http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/
EDIT
Did you make sure to include the 64 bit toolset as part of the Visual Studio install? This toolset is an optional component that can be disabled during the initial install process. I believe you can add it back in by going through a Visual Studio repair process.
Original Answer
Are you using a clean windows 7 RTM install or did you upgrade from a previous version? There is at least one issue being reported by Visual Studio customers who upgraded an earlier build of Windows 7 to RTM.
Other, seemingly unrelated issue
