Hi,

Finally I managed to install Visual Studio 6.0 on XP with SP2. I read
in one of the articals that setting the Setup.exe to run in Windows 98
compatibality mode works; I tried it and it did work, except the
following DLLs did not register:

oledb32.dll, msado15.dll, msadds.dll, msadce.dll and msaprst.dll

but I registered them manually, so it wasn't a major issue.

The setup finished saing that the setup had failed, but everything
seems to work so far.

the above was a bit of background to the problem I'm having now.

Now the problem I have is that when I try to install Visual Studio 6.0
SP6 it says that it will not install because it did not find any
visual studio 6.0 components installed.

But I have installed them; I'm guesing is because the setup didn't
finish properly (perhaps because of the unregistered dlls).

Has anyone else had this or a similar problem, and can anyone help?

Thanks
