Under Windows Vista, all programs run as a limited user by default even though you're an administrator.
As a results, unless I manually force VS to run as administrator, VA intellisense doesn't seem to work properly. It does not read the default headers into its symbol cache, resulting in tons of redlining and unknown symbols.
I'd suspect a permissions problem, where VA tries to open headers for both read and write but can only get read, and fails. So, VA should only request FILE_READ permissions on the headers it opens to parse. |

ector, can you confirm that it works with UAC off? I'm running on Vista RTM (UAC enabled) and while i've seen some funkiness it seems to be working. Do you have some simple steps to reproduce? Did you try rebuilding your cache from VAX? |

This is what case=169 covers, so it is on the list of things to do. |

UAC enabled, of course.
Running Vista RC2, but the issue should be the same on final.
My suggestion would be storing the symbols not in the Visual Assist directory in Program Files, but in AppData in the user account. Programs are not supposed to store any volatile data in their installation folders. |

Is UAC (User Account Control) enabled or disabled? |

VA X needs read/write permission to its symbol database stored in the VA X installation directory. We suspect this might be an issue if you installed in the default location, c:\\program files. |

Are you running a beta version of Vista, or the final version?
We have had various users report using VA on Vista without problems.
I will check into this.
Which IDE and version of VA are you using? |
