It works fine here too.

Possible soures of confusion might be

- Do you have a final or beta version of XP-64?
- Is that a fresh install, or an upgrade?

- Did you have an earlier Beta/CTP version of VS2005 installed? The uninstall is
known to leave files behind.


I did a reinstall last week, when my trial version of Windows expired. Reformat,
installed Windows XP x64, installed Visual Studio Beta 2.

Worked fine!
