Product Information
Visual Studio 6.0 offers an integrated development
environment like its successor Visual Studio .NET. The primary
components are Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual C++ 6.0. Microsoft
will continue to support this development studio for several
more years, but because the .NET platform has many advantages,
we encourage you to consider moving to Visual Studio .NET.

Software Installation
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend closing
all open applications and windows and
disabling background applications before installing any
of the software.
You should install the latest Windows Service Pack before
installing Visual Studio 6.0.
- Insert the Visual Studio 6.0 Disk 1 in the CD-ROM drive.
The Setup program should start automatically. If it does
not, double-click SETUP.EXE in the CD-ROM directory.
- Follow the instructions given by the Setup Wizard.
SERVICE PACK: You must install Visual
Studio 6.0 Service Pack 5. It is particularly important
if you wish to run Visual Studio on Window XP Professional.
NOTE: The latest MSDN Library release does not
integrate with Visual Studio 6.0 products but can be
installed and viewed as a stand-alone reference.
