VS6 and VS8
-
Hi, I recently installed VS8, but don't like it much and would like to switch back to VS6. Is it possible to install VS8 and VS6 on the same WinXP system. Will this create any conflict? Thanks.

Yes, it is possible. I do it without a problem. Just make sure you install VS6 first (uninstall VS8 if currently installed and then reinstall it after VS6).

as John said, yes, Both IDE can cohabit. BTW, do you know that VC6 compiler doesn't fit to the C++ standard ? VS2003 is far more compliant, and it's said that VS2005 respect it to about 98%. it's up to you to use VC6 then, but you'd better used yourself to VS2005 anyways...

We can't blame them for not writing with Industry standard. The finalized version of Visual C++ standard was last released in 1998. I think at the time time, Microsoft released Visual C++ 98 (version 12 I think). still many people are using the same compiler and IDE as they've made up their system using this popular old compiler.

My job still depends on it.
