    Upgrading Windows 10 from build 10240 to 10586 loses more settings.

    Visual Studio 2005 + Service Pack 1 + Update for Vista was installed in 10240.
    I have to disable use of precompiled headers but Visual Studio 2005 still works.

    After upgrading Windows 10 to build 10586, Visual Studio 2005 is still installed.
    But Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and Update for Vista were lost and have to be reinstalled.

    Something else gets lost too.
    In Windows 10 build 10240, a Setup and Deployment project could be built.
    That is abandonware but existing solutions still often have such projects.
    In Windows 10 build 10586, Visual Studio 2005, after repair, gives the following error:
    Could not find required file 'setup.bin' in 'C:\MyProject\Engine'.

    I don't really know what got lost.  A workaround is to add the registry entries shown below.
    But I think more things got lost than just those.  And of course the C drive isn't always right.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\1.0]
    "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\SDK\\v2.0\\BootStrapper\\"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\1.0]
    "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\SDK\\v2.0\\BootStrapper\\"

    Hi Norman,

    Based on the official information, Visual Studio 2005 is not supported on Windows 10. It's recommended you get the latest version of Visual Studio 2015 for Windows 10.

    Yes I know, I should keep using Windows 7 for maintenance development of some programs.

    I've also read Microsoft's recommendation elsewhere, to let Visual Studio 2005 work in some recent versions of Windows, disable security in Windows.  Sorry I disable precompiled headers in Visual Studio instead.

    Regardless, isn't this a pretty silly thing for build 10586 to break when upgrading from build 10240?  Espacially after the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 build 10240 did not break this?

    I think every product have its own lifecycle. Visual Studio 2005 has its preferred platform. If you want to continue using it, roll back to previous Operating System. If you want to experience new platform, please consider to update your Visual Studio version to latest.
