RE: VC 7 and VC 6 on same machine
Message 1 in thread
My problem with a side-by-side installation of VC6 and VS.NET was that
the JIT debugger was set to VS.NET and sometimes it failed. The VS.NET
debugger can indeed debug VS6 C++ native applications (horay!), but
things didn't go smoothly. This was with the 2nd beta.
I have the actual release code in a box sitting on the shelf. I don't
have the courage to install it on my main development machine as I fear
it will blow things.
