Installation on Windows Vista requires elevated permissions
If you install this service pack upgrade on Windows Vista, we recommended that you right-click the service pack upgrade executable file and then click Run As. Alternatively, you can run the executable file from a privileged console window.

Running Visual Studio 2005 with administrator permissions is recommended
Some features of Visual Studio run only with administrator permissions. Therefore, when you use Visual Studio 2005, we recommend that you perform the following actions:
 * Run Visual Studio with elevated administrator permissions.
 * Use a user account that is a member of the &quot;Administrators&quot; group on the local computer.
 * Right-click the Visual Studio icon and select the &quot;Run as administrator&quot; option from the context menu.
