Parallel installation of VC6, VS2003 and VS2008

Hi all.,

For quite some time I have been using VC 6.0 and VS2003 on the same
computer.
I have read somewhere, that VC 6.0 should be installed as a second.

Now I have to use also VS2008.
Is it possible to use all three of them without interfering one to another ?
How to install them ?

Best Regards
Pawel

Yes. You should be OK just installing VS 2008 on your current setup (with
VC6 and VS 2003 already installed). VS 2008 is a separate product.

I think it is safer to assume that installing the oldest product first
is the better way since MS would have thought about checking for
previous version when installing a newer product.

I wrote a C# Windows app using VS2003 to read selected text files and write the data to 3 tables in an Access database. After "upgrading" to VS2005, I tried to add a feature and rebuild - what a can of worms. At this point, the solution builds and runs, but if I open or restore another window, program or application, the app will go to a "Not Responding" status. Sometimes, it writes records, sometimes it doesn't. I'm really not sure...

Hi, everybody I got a problem producing C# COM projects with vs2008. COM project created and compiled with VS2003 works fine with all kinds of early and late binding in Office2002, vbscript (only late of course) etc. Compiling exactly the same project with VS2008 (checkboxes for register and make visible COM both checked) will apparently install the project properly (comparing reg entries). The methods of the project can subsequently...

Hi everybody, There is a fatal error while installing VS2008 SP1 on Vista 64bit Business edition. The last line of error log is Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643) I tried to uninstall Silverlight first (which is described in some blogs) and install .NET framework 3.5 SP1 manually but still failed. My VS2008 is Team Suit for developer and Vista SP1 is also installed.

if I make a new project with VS2008, the class TimeZoneInfo is normally recognized and I can use it normally. But if I attempt to use it in a converted project (2003->2008) the compiler does not recognize the class (says that the Type is not recognized). I can't figure out which reference I should change or update. This should be in System and the system reference is there (?)

Hello, We created an application in Visual Studio 2003 with .NET 1.1. Now we want to convert this project to .NET 2.0 and want to develop in Visual Studio 2008 (yes I know this has .NET3.5).

It only shows controls that are on the form. Can anyone provide me some feedback what...

Overview: 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,...
