Downloaded the upgrade (uninstalled the previous per the installation program) but now when I click on the desktop icon nothing happens. I've tried going in and double clicking the VSD site file, but it won't open either. Help!

Hi Amy,
I had the same problem and found in the forums that if you Right Click on the VSD Icon and run as
ADMIN. It should take care of your problem.

To fix this, right-click your Visual Site Designer shortcut icon and select Run as Administrator. This should properly launch Visual Site Designer for you. If it does, great! You can continue to launch the program in this way, or you can go a step further and configure the shortcut to always run as administrator. Here's how:
1. Right-click the shortcut icon, and click Properties.
2. Click the Compatibility tab.
3. Here, put a check mark by Run This Program as an Administrator.
4. Next, put a check mark next to Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For: and ensure Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 is selected.
5. Click OK.
