Install Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web on Windows Vista

When I attempted to install Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web on my Windows Vista using Microsoft Web Platform 4.0, I got this message:


A little surprise, I had no issue in install Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7 or Windows 8.  According to http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/compatibility, the minimum operating system can use to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 is Windows 7.

I have no intention to spend more money in upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7. There is no business value in upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7 on three years old laptop. Thus, stay with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for now.
