fixing vc6 installation
-
The problem is that my hard drive crashed about 2 years ago and the original CD set is in storage in another state. Today I finally decided that I would like it installed on my XP machine. I have copied the recovered VC6 directory to my machined, but, of course, it needs to be fixed. Is there a list of directory paths and registry entries some where or some other fix. Thanks,

That would have to be a lot of work done manually and you might miss one or many things during the process. I would suggest a new installation for VC6.0 to be done on this machine.

If this has been out of use for 2 years then I presume you only use it for personal projects. If that is the case then I would suggest you forget VC6 (unless you really need MFC) and go for the Visual Studio Express editions[^].

Good guess (MFC). I plan on the Resurrection of some old projects for the purpose of updating them. It helps to have the original development tools when working with old [GUI] code. Up until 2 years ago, all my cross-platform code included VC6 compatibility; I decided dropped that though. Note: There are still commercial Apps the use MFC and posting for positions requiring it.

I didn't mean to imply that MFC is no longer current, it's just that it is not available with the (free) Express editions of Visual C++.

There is a workaround for compiling old MFC applications in VS Express - How to compile MFC code in Visual C++ Express[^]
