When i was trying to apply this hotfix using Windows Update it failed with Error Code 7342.

Workaround for me was to download it from here and install this hotfix manually.

When I'm trying to access network socket on Vista it's throwing this exception:

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

The only workaround I found so far is to run application as Administrator. The code to reproduce it goes like this:

System.Net.Sockets.Socket socket = new System.Net.Sockets.Socket(System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork, System.Net.Sockets.SocketType.Raw, System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType.Icmp);

Anyone knows the answer for this problem?

I had a message "Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'." when trying to start IIS service from IIS Manager running on Windows Vista Business.

I needed to start this IIS service manually from command line ("Run as Administrator") using this command:

net start w3svc

In Control Panel look for the “System and Maintenance” group.  Select “Power Options.” In the list of “Preferred plans,” click on the “Change plan settings” link.

In the “Change Plan Settings” dialog box which appears, click on the “Change advanced power settings” link.

In the dialog box which appears, expand the “Power buttons and lid” branch, and then expand the “Start menu power button” and in the drop-down list of options that appears, select “Shut down.”

Click on the [Apply] button, then click on the [OK] button. Close the remaining windows to exit the control panel applet.

Now next time you select Shutdown in the Start menu, the default action for the Sutdown dialog box will actually be Shutdown.

I'll take some screen shots when got a little more time.
