XP Question
-
Hi, I will soon install XP on one of our machines (probably mine). Has anyone been using Visual studio 6.0 on XP ? If so, did it work as before ? For the moment I do not think I will upgrade to a higher version. If version 6.0 works I will keep on using it for a while. Also, I am using a legacy compiler for the 8051 processor. It is essentially DOS based but I have integrated it with Visual studio 6 and it is working well. Anyone have any experience with running DOS programs under XP ? To clarify, the DOS applications are just plain vanilla: to activate you type a command line with some arguments and during + after running you get some simple text output. Just wondering if under XP you can still do that. Any help/comments much appreciated. regards, Filip

I've been using Visual Studio 6 SP5 for about 55 days on XP now. (I know the number of days because XP keeps reminding me I have x days left to activate) I've not had any major problems. There have been a few unexpected crashes but I had plenty of those on 2000 too. Michael :-)

I haven't really had any crashes but I can't seem to debug anything.
