To install Visual Studio 6 on a computer running Windows 8.1 you need to take several special steps to succeed. Here I describe what I did to install Visual Studio 6 SP6 on Windows 8.1.

Mar 4, 2018 - Visual Studio 6.0a - Including MSDN Library (CD1 and CD2) Microsoft MSDN Library October 2004 Cd3.iso en msdn library 2007 04 dvd.

Contents

The procedure uses the nice Visual Studio 6.0 Installer by Giorgio Brausi [1][2]. Without using it, the installation didn't finish properly and no uninstall entry was created.


Note: many default actions are omitted from the following description.

Preparation

  • Download and unzip Visual Studio 6.0 Installer [1][2]
  • Start Visual Studio 6.0 Installer and read its help ?
  • Copy contents of Visual Studio Professional / Enterprise CDs to hard disk under a common folder, for example [3]:
    • ../VS6/EN_VS60SP6
    • ../VS6/MSDN CD1
    • ../VS6/MSDN CD2
    • ../VS6/VSE600ENU1
    • ../VS6/VSE600ENU2
    • ../VS6/VSE600ENU3
  • In the next steps, Visual Studio 6.0 Installer will prepare the folders to perform the installation from.
  • Specify the root folder where to prepare the folders to install from via File > Set Root folder..;
    For me this is D:UsersMartinVS6-ROOT
  • Click Step 1: Prepare Visual Studion 6.0 ENT and specify the path to CD #1 of the Visual Studio 6.0 CD you collected above, ../VS6/VSE600ENU1.
  • Click Step 2: Prepare MSDN Library and specify the path to CD #1 of the MSDN Library CD you collected above, ../VS6/MSDN CD1.
  • Click Step 3: Prepare Service Pack 6 and specify the path to the folder (CD)with Service Pack 6 you collected above, ../VS6/EN_VS60SP6.

Further preparation:

  • Create folder C:Program Files (uac)
    The Visual Studio development environment files will be installed here to prevent the UAC to intervene [4]. That would happen when Visual Studio would be installed to C:Program Files (x86) [4].
  • Make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio folders from previous Visual Studio 6 installations are removed as well as its registry entries [5].

Prevent compatibility check interception

Visual basic

Trying to run MSDEV.EXE now will result in a Microsoft (R) Developer Studio has stopped working dialog. To cure this:

  • Rename MSDEV.EXE to MSDEV8.EXE [5]
    MSDEV.EXE is located in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioCommonMSDev98Bin.

  • On MSDEV8.EXE, change Properties, Compatibility to: Windows 7:

Enable using msdev from the command line

To enable using MSDEV8.EXE under the original name from the command line I created program msdev.cpp.

Microsoft visual studio

Compile this program with VC6 or higher and copy it to folder C:Program Files (uac)Microsoft Visual StudioCommonMSDev98Bin.

Create a VC6 command prompt

To enable opening a command prompt for Visual C++ 6, we create a new shortcut.

  • On the desktop, context menu, select New > Shortcut.
  • Location of item: %comspec% /k 'C:Program Files (uac)Microsoft Visual StudioVC98BinVCVARS32.bat'
  • Name for this shortcut: VC6 Command Prompt
  • Press Finish

Now move this shortcut to the start menu folder Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0:

  • C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsMicrosoft Visual Studio 6.0

As an example, start VC6 command prompt and issue msdev /?:

Wrap up

If you want to do the installation all over again and need to remove (part of) the Visual Studio installation by hand, reference [6] may be helpful to see which registry items may need removal.

I also installed WinHlp for Windows 8.1, however you may not need it at all [7].
