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
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.
