VC1.52 and VC6.0 on same PC?
-
Hi guys I have tried my best to delay this but it looks like I have to install VC1.52 to maintain some very old code (note to self: make more coffee, it's going to be a long night). Have any of you tried to install VC1.52 on a Win2k with VC6, IE6 etc. The last thing I want is to install VC1.52 only to find my PC bombed back to 1993. TIA .Henrik
Don't worry, your PC will not be sucked back to the dark ages. :-D I've recently installed VC 1.52 myself on my NT4.0 box here at work :(, and no problems whatsover :). Since it's a 16-bit app meant to work on Windows 3.1, it installs the system DLLs under the %SystemRoot%\System folder (instead of System32). So there are no conflicts and you should be fine. Happy 16-bit coding! Alvaro :bob:

I haven't tried this with VC 6.0 on Win2000, but I did run VC 4.2 with VC 1.52c on NT 4.0 (SP3) a few years back without any problems. It would probably be wise to install VC 1.52 first though, just in case... Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

It installs and works OK, I needed it for some work on a DOS based Hand Held Terminal. My Win2k machine aint got IE6, but I can't see that giving it grief. Joe.

Just off the top of my head, whether it will install is likely moot anyway. To me using VC1.52, implies that you want to develop/debug 16 bit Windows or perhaps some old DOS code. I wouldn't even begin to do that on a Win2K or NT machine. Hopefully you have a Win95 machine around still or even better some very old diskettes labelled Windows 3.11 :) Chris
Fark, all PC's available are running Win2k. Install Win3.11? Wonder if nvidia has Win3.11 drivers for my gfx card :)

I have both installed on my machine right now. I needed a little app that accessed the 16 bit network functions for our customers who run our app under 95/98. Works fine. "War is hell" William Tecumseh Sherman.

I can't speak to your precise situation, but I have VC 5.0 and VC 1.52 on one of my machines, and they coexist perfectly. There are no shared components.

Okay, I installed it and... well.... it works :) My project compiles and all. But man, I'm really going to miss VC6. Thanks for the quick response. .Henrik

[rant] I installed VC1.52 because I needed to debug a DOS application but does VC include a DOS debugger? Well yes, it includes CodeView for MS-DOS which is properly the worst debugger I ever had the misfortune to lay my hands on. *sigh* Or maybe I'm just a young punk who never had to debug a 10^6 punch cards using nothing but a comb and a piece of string. On a sunday. At 3am. [/rant] I'm better now. Now where did I put the SoftICE installations disk?

Nice though CodeView is ;) does it (or SoftICE) work on NT/2K? Dave.

I use the VC1.52 compiler with an external makefile that I 'wrap' in the VC6 IDE. This way I can use the VC6 environment and Visual Assist, Wndtabs, etc., while working on old stuff. This also works with my 8051/68HC11 embedded cross compilers. Steven J. Ackerman, Consultant ACS, Sarasota, FL http://www.acscontrol.com steve@acscontrol.com sja@gte.net

I haven't used SoftICE on Win2k yet. It works perfect in NT4 however. .Henrik

Hmmm... good idea. I agree with John, this would make an excellent article (hint hint) :) .Henrik

OK. I'll take the hints ! ;) I haven't submitted anything before, so it will take me a little bit to pull this together. I can't include the actual code for the projects, but I can provide a couple of samples of the relevant makefiles and instructions for how they get 'wrapped'. Thanks for the prompting. Steven J.
