I have both VS 6.0 and VS .NET installed on my XP machine. I'm trying to debug a crash on my application written in VS 6.0. Whenever my application crashes I'd like it to launch VS 6.0; instead VS .NET is launched.

How do I set this up?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

You may try to modify the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\

Let's set the value of "Debugger" to the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\msdev.exe" -p
%ld -e %ld

Please give it a try and see whether this helps or not.
