Using VC6 and VS.NET on the same machine?
-
I have the RC1 and VS6 on my computer and they both seem to work. I don't have the RTM yet. -- Peter Stephens

Works fine for me on two machines.

Works fine here, I even installed VC6 after VS.NET without any problems. James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'. Which would be a very bad pr0n flick. :-D" - Michael P Butler Jan. 18, 2002

I have VC6 and VC.NET RC and they coexist just fine. This is post no. 5, so you may proceed :-)

I have VS6 and VS.NET beta 2.0 running together fine. For a short while I also had MS Embedded tools [VB and VC] 3.0 installed. All this is on Win2K server SP 2.0 Regards Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain www.busterboy.org If you don't find me on CP, I'll be at Bob's HungOut

A voice of dissention from this .Net love fest. I was able to install both VC6 and VS7 on the same machine. However, VS7 did not support a few of our project configurations with SourceSafe. I also had problems with libraries; in short some libraries build for VC6 would run with VS7, but not the other way around. On top of that, I encountered so many bugs, aggravating quirks and just plain idiotic interface elements in VS.Net that I just uninstalled it. Whatever benefit a new compiler and linker might provide could not overcome the aggravation of working with VS.Net. (Try converting a project, or rather "solution", with a base library and several executables dependent on that library but not each other. You will be both amazed and baffled at how the "solution" interprets "dependencies." Then try a build/debug cycle. This was the moment I started swearing very loudly and decided I'd had enough.)
