    :doh: Someone told me that you cant have VC++ 6.0 and VC++ .net on the same computer because they will mess each other up. Is this true? If so, is there anyway around it? Thanks a lot David

          The trick is to install VC++ 6.0 first and if you uninstall it, you need to run a repair on the VC++.NET install to restore the file associations. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

            I have VC++ 1.52c (for DOS based apps), Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed on each of my machines (home using XP Pro, work using W2K and a laptop using XP Pro). No problems at all... Steve

                All I had to do was put in the CD and run the setup program. I just tried the V1.52 setup program again and it starts up OK. You probably need to install V1.52, then VS6.0 and finally VS .NET so the various settings are done in the correct order. There is a batch file that V1.52 Setup creates that has the various Environment Variables initializations - I took them and merged them into the Environment Variables under Control Panel / System / Advanced / User Variables.

                    They don't need to be. I have VC6, VS.NET 2002, and VS.NET 2003 installed together on several machines. By default, they install to separate directories.

Next time I'll have a try when I get a clean system. When I launch the VC++1.51 setup, it pops up a message box for only Win95/98 supported.
