VC++ 6.0 and 64 bit
-
Hey guys, Sorry to be bugging everyone with silly questions, I am just wandering I have a project that I have used VC 6 to create, and I've just recieved a message from a client saying it doesn't work on the 64 bit version of Windows. Is there a way of getting VC 6 to compile projects that work with 64 bit operating systems or am I stuffed. If not is there an emulator software you can use that will allow 32 bit apps to run on 64 bit systems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the Best Danny

Are they running on the 64-bit Itanium or something? Unfortunately VC6 is unable to produce 64-bit compatible binaries. If your client is on a pure 64-bit architecture then you may have to compile your project with Visual Studio 2005 or higher which supports both x86-64 and IA-64 depending on the edition. Another possible solution is to use the free compiler which comes with Microsoft Windows SDK[^] which also supports x86-64 and IA-64. This option may become a problem... especially if your using MFC.

I think you must first understand why your 32-bit app does not work on 64-bit systems. And VC 6 does not have 64-bit compilers.

A thought I had after posting the thread. Could it be the target operating system is missing the mfc42.dll? My project does use MFC. Danny

Ideally all the dependencies must be part of your application's installation. But then it shouldn't have worked on the 32-bit system either. Mfc42.dll is not part of the OS. It is installed when you install Visual Studio.
