<pre wrap="">Visual Studio is known not to work, not even in the commercial Wine
version, Crossover:

Your only option will be to install Windows in a virtualized environment
(using VirtualBox or vmware) and install Visual Studio inside Windows.

I use a commercial application called Win4lin Pro (win4lin.com) on my
8.04 laptop and my 8.10 pc. I costs a little less than VMWARE, has
excellent technical support.
Your install the application at the the command line, run a graphical
installer where you insert the Windows CD. You end up with a graphical
user inteface where you can start and stop your windows session, make
back up of Windows and all the applications you have installed,
adjust/fine tune your windows sessions. But the best bit is that the
applications you have in Win4lin/Windows can be started and run without
have a windows session on-screen, so these applications look as though
they are running independently of Windows. Because this is a near
native Windows environment I have not found anything that does not work.
I use Visio, Office 2K, CSE HTML Validator, Paint Shop Pro, Swish Max.
I have re-installed this application several times as I change
machines. I keep step by step notes on how to install and you could
have these if you go ahead. (not sure if you need them of course).
Good luck
Stephen
