Installing VS .NET 2003 on Vista?

[Guest]

When trying to install Visual Studio .NET 2003 on Vista 50% of the
installation of the prerequisites doesn't work. I also haven't found how to
enable FrontPage extensions. Is there a way to install VS .NET 2003 on Vista
at the moment?

No, and there never will be:

The "earliest" version of Visual Studio.NET which will work on Vista hasn't
been officially released yet - current estimates are Feb 2007...

VS 2005 works fine, there are some patches for certain situations but other
than that it works just fine.

VS 2003 won't be supported at all.

I don't know about the Front Page extensions, but I had no problem
installing it. I haven't run it much yet, but it does install. Just
because MS won't support it, doesn't mean it won't work. I suspect it
depends on what you are trying to do.

I have VS6 installed as well (just VB and C++).
