title: Install Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 8
body: <p>I am currently working on a long-term project for which I need Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2012 (2010 not necessary). Right now I have Windows 7, but I would really like to upgrade. Is it possible to install all of those versions of Visual Studio on Windows 8?</p>
  
  <p>2012 can obviously installed (and takes away the need for 2010). I already found reports that 2008 is also possible if the 3.5 framework is enabled through Windows Features, but I'm unsure about Visual Studio 2005.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible and does anybody have any experience with this?</p>
  
  <p>PS: Do not come with solutions as "Why still use 2005, 2008, ...", I really need it.</p>
