It goes over how to clean up previous attempts if youve tried installing and failed, goes through runnings the setup wizard, and tells you which settings to disable.Also, being the old timer that I am, I still like using Visual Studio 6.0 whos interface was specifically designed for C development.Sure, I admit I might be a little resistant to change, but I also find the MFC wizards are more C friendly and I like the ability to record macros which was no longer supported with newer versions of Visual Studio.
![]() Visual Studio Version 6 Trial And ErrorI wanted to document what I have discovered through trial and error to be the best approach for installing Visual Studio 6.0 on later versions of Windows without the need for a 3rd party tool or installer. Visual Studio Version 6 Manual Cleanup FirstIf this is the case you will need to do some manual cleanup first before we get started. Follow these steps to manually clean up any previous installation attempts. Note: If you have installed Visual Studio 2017 make sure you do not touch the C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio2017 folder. This article references the Enterprise edition of Visual Studio; however the same approach should work with the Professional version as well, now lets begin. The reason for this is some of the files will need to be modified or edited. Go to your installation CD and copy the contents to this folder. If you have multiple CDs copy each one starting with the first one to the Setup folder, you can skip over files with duplicate names when prompted to overwrite. Step 2.

Setup will search the system for previously installed components. Once this process has completed (it may take a while depending on your system) you will be presented with a dialog to choose the installation type, select the Custom setup option to continue. This is where things will vary depending on what version you are installing Professional or Enterprise. If you are prompted about installing Source Safe, choose the NO option to continue. For this article, we are only installing Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual C 6.0, so you can uncheck the options for Visual FoxPro 6.0, Visual InterDev 6.0 and Visual SourceSafe 6.0. Now select the option for Visual C 6.0 and press the Change Option.
