Hi I'm having trouble getting Visual Studio 6 Enterprise (C++) to work on my
Win XP Pro (SP 1 - latest .NET framework). Whenever I try to compile a C
program, it just hangs, cancel build doesn't work, and I have to run Task
Manager to exit C++. I haven't installed any service packs for Visual
Studio, thinking I wouldn't need them until I started programming more
heavily. On the installation it mentioned debug symbols for Win NT, which I
wasn't sure if I needed or not, so I ran it, but it wouldn't install
properly saying files were missing off the CD, and there was an incompatible
system file (DLL ?) on the computer. Do I need these debug symbols for XP ?
I tried removing memory resident programs to see if it would help, but it
made no difference.
I'm unsure if there's compatibility issues between VS 6 (Ent) and XP (Pro),
so I'm calling on your experience to help me resolve this frustrating issue.
I haven't tried visual basic or any other part of visual studio yet, and
when I installed, I did full install minus FoxPro and SourceSafe.
Please help
thanks
Adam

I run VS6sp5 (VC, VB and SourceSafe), VS.Net 2002 (full) and VS.Net 2003
(full) on a WinXP Pro sp1 machine and it all runs fine. I would suspect
that the messages you got whilst installing may be relevant (outside chance
of a dirty or scratched CD-ROM?).
Your best bet is to ask in a Visual Studio newsgroup on the Microsoft public
news server.

So, what is the relationship between Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer.
I find a lot of documentation on MSDN that presents Visual Web Developer as
it's own stand-alone product (which I'd expect of the Express editions), but
apparently there are NON Express versions of Visual Web Developer.
Is Visual Web Developer only built-in to Visual Studio 2008 Professional? I

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
