thanx to all of the guys replied here

Option 1: - You can download abd install virtualbox and install VS C++ 6.0 on it. But you need bootable windows xp CD/DVD

Thanx kasuncs for this

Option 2:- Download and install
Windows Virtual PC & XP Mode for Windows 7
And you do not need to have xp CD/DVD for this but 500MB sized

I didn't had problems with VB6 on win with compatibilty mode.try to change some settings,
Why don't you newer version?As it's C there is no much difference.Just get VC++ 2010

 

[Himoz]

Try to install visual studio s/w package rather than install VC++ alone.

u can install VS2010 and convert tht project to run in 2010 try it

Guys Im newbie to the C++ world who dont knw a damn thing. The reason I go for the rotten old version is that our university uses the same version on Xp

And I did try 2010 already but for me the layout is totally different and and some coding methods such as
<iostream> instead of <iostream.h> on VS6.0

Anyway Im gonna try installing the software package this time

machan this Visual Studio 6.0 is a damn old version. It was released in 1998 or so... y do u want to use such an old version? even when installin VS 2005 on Windows 7 it generates a warning msg sayin there are compatibility issues ( eventhough it perfectly works )

So try on a newer version ( VS 2008 or 2010 )

Bro the reason I go for the old is explained in the previous post

And hey u said it works fine
Could u plz tell me how did u installed it specifically ?
U installed just C++ or along with other software package ?

Did you use some compatibility mode for running ?
And yep it opens and works fine but when u try to open an saved project it get freez and get msg as not responding

 

[kosandpol]

use a XP virtual machine for that version of C

 

[Zeus]

use a XP virtual machine for that version of C

Is that a software or are you saying the same of that compatibility setting

 

[nagaya]

yeah macho i installed VB6 on win7 for some interfacing projects.if you're newbie to C++ better use notepad to write program and compile it with g++(comes with devC++ for win)
if u rellay wants MS VC++,just download VS 2010 express form MS site for free and install that

So how did u install it
Did u used compatibility mode settings ? or what

i was talking about using VS 2005 on Windows 7.. its not that much of an old version, so i never had those sort of probs when running a program, got a warning msg only when installin but im not sure about VC++ 6.0 btw, im using only C# now, hvnt touched a C++ code for 2yrs++

Machan Install Virtual Box.
Then creat XP virtual machine.
Then install VC++ to virtual machine.

[nadun07]

VS 2010 fatta ban. C# 4.0 wala aluthma features add karala thiyanwa

Windows 7 comes with MS Virtual server right ? no need to use 3rd party virtualization software..

u just try on a newer version and dnt wry much about those header files n all, u can learn the difference by googling..
the rest of the code should be the same..

Is that a software or are you saying the same of that compatibility setting

OR

install a virtual machine software, and run VC++ 6.0 on Windows XP

Just download and install DevC++ it's enough for uni stuff.... ~6MB
