Hi,

I've got a XP Pro with SP2 and I cannot install Visual Studio 6.0 on
it; as soon as I click on Setup.exe I get a message saying:

"Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience."

Then it has a link which, when clicked, gives the following
information:

AppName: setup.exe    AppVer: 6.0.0.8167    ModName: setup.exe
ModVer: 6.0.0.8167    Offset: 00008871

Can anyone help?

Thank you

You prolly need to install the MSJVM to start.

I got this link from another thread when I had a similar problem:
http://www.c360.ca/download-Microsoft-VM.html

I ended up re-installing VS6 over the top of itself before I got it
completely clean and able to take SP6.

Good Luck

Hi,

Thanks for the help BobF, but I've already installed Microsoft-VM but
still cannot install Visual Studio 6.0; I cannot even get to the first
screen of the setup; the setup crashes before even getting to the
first screen.

I have installed Visual J++ 1.1 from Visual Studio 97, and the only
problem there is that the online help does not work. Could the problem
with Visual Studio 6.0 be related to Visual Studio 97 being installed
already?

Thanks

Sorry  - I don't have much more to offer.  Your situation sounded similar,
so I thought I'd share my specifics.

There are a bunch of posts here with VS6 installation problems.  I'm
surprised there isn't more support for VS6 on the newer platforms.

There is quite a bit on MSDN.

Good Luck
