I have a question about the installation of Visual Studio 6.0 Professional on a Windows XP machine. SP2 of course has the most recent version of all the required files I would imagine, yet the setup still wants to install Microsoft Virtual Machine For Java or it can't continue.

Is this really still required? Will it affect anything?

Thanks.

I have encountered the exact same problem. I have a brand new WinXP machine and I am trying to install Visual Studio 6.0 on it. I'm getting the same warning about Java. I have not found a way to get past the warning. So far I have been unable to install Visual Studio.

What I ended up doing was downloading 3 files from: http://www.c360.ca/download-Microsoft-VM.html

msjavx86.exe versions 5.00.3805, 5.00.3809 and 5.00.3810 (Versions 5.00.3809 & 5.00.3810 are Security Fixes for version 5.00.3805)

I installed the 3 rebooting of course after each file :-( and was able to continue with the VS installation.

Hope this helps.
