VC6 installed fine for me on beta 2. The catch is you always have to run it elevated or the help won't work. I just installed RTM last night and I'm gonna reinstall my dev stuff sometime today. I'll report back on whether it works.

There were two gotcha's that I ran into. 1. The installer will install the MS Java VM and then reboot. After rebooting, the install wizard will run again, but it's not running elevated. You must exit out of the wizard and restart it. 2. The Feb 03 Platform SDK doesn't work out of the box if IE isn't your default browser. Once everything was installed, I had no problems building my main app's code base (which is the most complex thing I have) EDIT: I've posted more details on my blog[^]

Elevated means running with a token that has full admin rights. I got compat warnings too, but I still use VC 6 for my work so I don't have a choice about running it or not. I've seen no problems using it so far.

YOU MUST UNINSTALL THE MS JAVA VM. Unless they've changed it since RC2 (I don't yet have access to the RTM build), the version that is installed is the version from 1998 and is highly vulnerable to attack. Windows Update does not update the VM. You can avoid installing it by using Notepad to create a file in the Windows\System32 folder named
msjava.dll(use "" to avoid Notepad adding a .txt extension) before running VC6 setup.Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I dont think I've installed anything on Vista yet that hasn't come with a compatability warning. :rolleyes:

hmmm, well that's depressing. There's no entry for the VM in add/remove. I might just wipe/reinstall anyway, because I found out that you need 1.5GB on your boot partition to use BitLocker (which is not mentioned on any MS blogs, unfortunately, the examples I found use really small volumes) and I only made a 1GB partition. :doh:
