Final version of the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 update for Windows Vista now available

I noticed this afternoon that the final release of the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 update for Windows Vista has been released on the Microsoft Download Center.  You can find more information at these locations:

• Direct download location for the SP1 update for Windows Vista - https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=90E2942D-3AD1-4873-A2EE-4ACC0AACE5B6&displaylang=en
• More information about developing with Visual Studio on Windows Vista - https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa948853.aspx

If you had the beta version of the SP1 update for Windows Vista, you will need to remove it first.  You will also need to make sure that you have install VS 2005 SP1 on your Windows Vista before installing this SP1 update package.

One other note - installing this SP1 update will finally cause all of the compatibility dialogs that I previously blogged about (here and here) to go away on Windows Vista.
