When starting setup.exe on my Windows 7 RTM x64, I get the following error:
Visual Studio 2010 cannot run in Compatibility Mode
I know that and it does make sense.
However, I didn't run it in compatibility mode. Nor is this compatibility mode active on the setup.exe.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had the same problem. I found this website though, and it's working:
I found a workaround by performing the following steps:
- Created a folder called "setup" at the root (c:\setup)
- Moved the vm_web.exe file to the new folder (c:\setup\vm_web.exe)
- Run it from the new location.

Old problem but still occur.
Run in compatibility is inherited down the 'running' chain. You have to start setup.exe from a Windows Explorer. Running it from a file manager - like Total Commander - won't work.

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (Professional Edition) on Windows 7 RTM x64 with no problems. I would attempt to download the setup again to see if that fixes it. If you are using the web bootstrapper it is a fairly small download.

Goto \Setup\ folder on the installation CD/ISO then find setup.exe click on Properties->Compatibility->Change for all users and uncheck Run in compatibility for.. radio-button. Do the same with setup.exe in the disk root folder.

Is the Visual Studio 2010 you are using a 32 bit version? It can be that the OS is trying to run it in compatibility mode (i.e. 32 bit App on 64 bit OS).

Compensated the downvote, the report of a working VS on x64 is useful. – Henk – 2009-10-22T15:59:50.507
Seconded. I just installed VS2010 Beta 2 Ultimate on a 64-bit Windows 7 VM with no issues. – Ferruccio – 2009-10-22T16:36:46.220
