System Requirements

Visual Assist X works with virtually all Microsoft IDEs and operating systems. You need little more than the PC you use currently for development.

Development Environments

Visual Assist X is compatible with the following Microsoft IDEs. Reinstall Visual Assist X if you change or add an IDE to your system.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
(Express Editions are not supported.)
(Preliminary support for Visual Studio 2008 introduced in build 10.4.1619; development is ongoing.)

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition
(Express Editions are not supported.)

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0
Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools 4.0
Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0

Operating Systems

Generally speaking, Visual Assist X works with any operating system that runs your IDE with the exception of Microsoft Windows 98 and NT 4.0.

Windows Vista (x86 and x64, all versions)
Windows XP Professional (x86 and x64)
Windows XP Media Center Edition
Windows XP Home
Windows 2000 Professional

Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2003
Windows 2000 Server

Performance

Visual Assist X requires little more than a system fast enough for software development. Impact on the performance is negligible after a project is opened for the first time. (Extra parsing is done the first time each project is opened.)

Disk Space

Disk space requirements vary depending on the size of your projects. Only 20 MB is required for initial installation of Visual Assist X but symbol databases and file caches increase the requirement quickly. A reasonable minimum is 50 MB. Large projects can consume 100+ MB over time.

Visual Assist X maintains a cache of parsed source files that speed opening of files. The cache is cleared periodically.
