trial.exe – 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

how can i link it!

Really it works
when you are creating a new project – just save it not into the default folder,
but to the location you want for example to ‘My documents’
And it will work fine))) ………..or I hope so

I accidentially purchased 64-bit Vista and anytime there is a bug in my program while debugging, Stop Debugging does not stop the process, so after fixing the bug I can’t link because the EXE file is still open. Exiting the devleopment environment and reentering fixes the problem. I can live with this.

1. Uninstall any previous Visual Studio 6.0 IDE from your system.

2. Using a registry editor program make sure to remove all Visual Studio 6.0 key folders.
Note: Just remove any KEY FOLDERS nothing else.

NOTE: DO NOT install the Visual Studio 6.0 older editions, such as the 98 editions.
Install only the 2000 Visual Studio 6.0 version, because this version has
NT/XP support and will run better on Vista once installed correctly.

3. Insert the Visual Studio 6.0 CD and when asked do not run the setup, just close it.

4. Click my computer and open the CD directory.
5. Navigate to the folder “Visual Studio 2000″ or the folder containing the second
“Setup.exe” file.

6. Right-Click on the “Setup.exe” file and select properties -> Compatibility TAB.
7. Select the “Run this program in compatibility mode” Check box and select run as
Windows 2000. Now select the Check box “Run this program as administrator” and
click OK button. Now Double click the ICON Setup.exe program.

8. When a dialog box pops up just click run program.

9. Follow the instructions to install Visual Studio 6.0, such as CD key and company BLAH!
10. On the setup option screen click the custom setup radio button.
11. Select the default program installation directory.

12. If a dialog box pops up stating “ACMBOOT.EXE” BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! wait for 30 seconds
to see if you get a message box stating Visual Studio 6.0 BLAH! BLAH! as failed.
When you get the message box, Click OK button, if not continue to next step.

13. Click the “Run the program” button on the dialog box.

14. If you get a message box about Visual Sourcesafe found just click the YES button.

15. Unselect all applications and components, EXCEPT ‘Microsoft C++, Visual basic,
ActiveX, Data Access and Tools. You can if you want, select the graphics package as well’
NOTE: DO NOT modify any of the above selected default components.

16. Click Continue button and when a dialog box pops up stating Register Environment
variables click the check box and the OK button.

17. Let setup run and install Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0.

18. Do not even bother to install the NT DEBUG symbols they will not work with Vista.

NOTE:
For those of you who have not installed Visual Studio 6.0 prior to this installation,
will be asked to install the Java Virtual Runtime, Just select yes and let it reboot
your machine. Then perform steps 8 – 18.

Now we are all most done, we need to install the Visual Studio 6.0 service pack 6.

19. Extract the Vs6sp6.exe CAB file onto your desktop.
20. You will need the latest Visual Studio 6.0 Redistribute files.
This “vc++ redist_x86.exe” CAB file can be found by googling it.
When you do get it Right-Click on it and select properties -> Details TAB
to see if it says “Product version 6.00.

21. Now extract the “vc++ redist_x86.exe” 6.0 Redistribute file, onto your desktop.
22. Head into the “vc++ redist_x86″ folder and rename it to “vcredist.exe”.
23. Now Cut/Copy and paste the file to the “Vs6sp6″ service pack 6 folder and when
asked just overwrite the original.

24. Now within the “Vs6sp6″ folder find the “setupsp6.exe” file and Perform
steps 6 – 7 to install.

You now should have a good installation of the Visual Studio 6.0 on Vista 32bit
operating system.

If this is your first time running Visual Studio 6.0 on your machine you may get a
dialog box stating that this program is not compatible with Vista, just click the
DO NOT remind me check box.

I performed soooo many different types of Visual Studio 6.0 installations on Vista
and the above steps were the best choice. I have created tons of examples and programs
with Visual Studio 6.0 using the above steps and had NO problems what so ever.

Although I do like Visual Studio 6.0, the truth is I use it to program my C++ applications
and then I use DEV C++ to create the final release.

It help me a lot!
Thank you!

C++ 6.0 Fix: Javasign.dll was unable to register itself in the system registry

I know it’s been a while since this thread was active but I truly someone’s still out there…

I just installed Visual Studio 6 (SP5) on a Vista Enterprise machine. Had some problems but I think it’s set up alright.

The problem is my VC++ 6 application fails when trying to host an ActiveX.
I was able to compile it ok, though got a warning message from Vista about the rc.exe (“This program has known compatibility issues” ).

When I debugged it I saw that my class that derives from CAxDialogImpl fails on its Create() method.
It worked just fine on XP!

Is there a known compatibility issue there?

Some tech info:
I saw that CAxDialogImpl::Create() (I pass NULL here) calls AtlAxCreateDialogA, which in turn calls CreateDialogIndirectParamA which throws an exception.
(I cannot catch it – it’s not _com_error)

Thanks a lot,
Erez

Thanks very much man for the advice on installing SP6.

Btw, how can we get an alternative install of COM/OLE Viewer?

Why not trying to change the project folder other than the default location?

Hope it helps…
