Please don't laugh--I'm serious about this--
I finally got around to installing the copy of VBNet I bought last summer.
I didn't see any installation instructions in the box--just a bunch of
advertisements, a couple posters and a beginning programming book.
So I put the Visual Studio CD in the hard drive. It said it couldn't
install because it was missing some supporting files. So I put the
VBNet CD in and the message box told me to put the VBStudio CD back in.
That installed a bunch of files--then it said to put the VBNet CD Back
in. That asked me for a product key and installed a whole lot of files.
Then it just stopped.
I thought, is it done? After no more activity, I took it out, and when
I clicked on VBNet, it worked.
However when I went to the help menu, it said I needed to install help
from the MSDN Library disk, because I didn't use "option 3". It also
told how to install it from add and remove programs. I never even got a
choice for option 3. Did I do something wrong, or what?
Sorry for the very basic question. On the positive side, it didn't
overwrite my copy of VB5.

Now you should just be able to put in the MSDN Library disk and run
SETUP.EXE from that cd.

Its a while ago now, but I think there is a checkbox at the end of the VS
installation that asks you if you want to install the MSDN files. If that is
checked, you will install all 3 discs & then the installation window will pop
up again asking you to check the web for updates etc.
In October 2003, there was a MSDN update out. Make sure you install it, as
Microsoft brag a lot (5000) of new code examples etc. Here's the link: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;827819
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOW!! You have VB 5. My collection is VB 3, VB 4, VB 5, VB 6 (VS 6
Enterprise), now VB 7.0 (VS.NET 2002 Ent Arch) & now VS.NET 2003 Ent Arch.
Yes, all of which are fully licensed.

I never got a checkbox at the end of the installation program. It just
stopped, with nothing open. I really wanted a copy of VB6, since I
bought a book on DirectX that required VB6, but it was discontinued
before I could buy a copy. I'm not a professional programmer -- just
wanted to learn something new, and found that this is not that
difficult. And I like that you have total control over what people try
to do when running your apps. In a few years when I retire, maybe I can
take some professional programming classes.

Have you managed to install the MSDN help files on the three blue CD's now?
Of course you can still buy VB 6 or VS 6 Enterprise.
You talked about DirectX. Have you downloaded DirectX 9 SDK (December 2004)
yet? On installation, you are asked if you want to integergrate it with
VS.NET, which is what I have done. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
