VC++ 6.0 runtime in Vista
-
Hi all, I've worked for along time with Visual C++ 6.0 and have hundred of VC++ 6.0 applications. Vista has come to the world and make me in trouble to upgrade my applications. I really don't want to neither re-test all of my applications in Vista nor upgrade them to Vistual C++ 2005. I wonder that must have some unsupported DLLs/functions in VC++ 6.0 runtime library. Can anyone know about limitation of VC++ 6.0 runtine in Vista? And how to make VC++ 6.0 application avoid these limitations and work well in Vista ? PS: I think using Compatibility mode can not ensure that VC++ 6.0 applications work properly for all in Vista. Thanks very much

I've had no trouble running VC6 or apps built with VC6. Any problems in the code, such as writing to protected areas of the file system/registry, would be there no matter what version of the CRT was being used.

Thanks Michael Dunn for your sharing information. I hope not to get any complain from my customer about compatibility issue in Vista. Do you think that disabling UAC feature of Vista will make it completely become XP? I you/anyone have any trouble in CRT, please share to all of us. By the way, if you use VC 6.0 in Vista, you will face exception when try to add activeX to project, or using remote debugging. -- modified at 23:06 Thursday 1st March, 2007

Have you found a way to install Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 6 on Vista? Mine fails miserably. I tried just copying the installed folder over from an xp machine over the install non-service pack one in Vista and it seems to work, but then when running, the code fails in occsite.cpp and crashes. Any ideas? Thanks!
