I had Vista Home Premium with VS 2008 - worked just great.
Upgraded to Vista Ultimate - now with a Windows App the following happens:
1. Try to open Form1 in designers mode (new app or existing app), error =
"The service Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.ISelectionContainer
already exists in the service container".
2. Compile app (new or existing), build error = ".NET Framework 2.0 update
not found. The win32manifest will not be embedded"

You have to upgrade to XP Professional.

OK, got this solved.
On the installation disk locate and run NetFX2.0-KB110806-v6000-x86.msu, it
comes in folder
WCU\dotNetFramework\dotNetMSP\x86

Geez, wasted more than a day on this exercise ...
 
Upgrading is a myth!

Did you reinstall VS after upgrading? Did you install the needed
Frameworks? Just guessing here...
