<h3>Installation Instructions for Visual Studio Programs</h3>
<p>This section lists installation-related information on programs and files shipped with Visual Studio 6.0.</p>
<!------------------------------------------------------>
<!--(Sec. 1) TOPIC 1-->
<h4><a name="installingondualbootcomputers">Warning When Installing on Dual-Boot Computers</a></h4>
<p>
If you have a dual-boot computer and want to install and run Visual Studio programs with both operating systems, you must install these products into separate directories.</p>
<p>Installing a Visual Studio product, such as Visual C++ or Visual Basic, multiple times on the same directory can result in undefined behavior. Installing a product to the same location from each operating system is sometimes done to save disk space, but it will lead to problems and is not supported.</p>
<p>For example, if you install onto the same directory, you will not be able to fully uninstall the product from both systems. Uninstalling on one system may result in undefined behavior, including the removal of system files from the other system.</p>
<!------------------------------------------------------>
<!--(Sec. 1) TOPIC 2-->
<h4><a name="sidebysideinstallation">Installing Multiple Versions of Visual Studio 6.0 &quot;Side-by-Side&quot; on the Same Computer</a></h4>
<p>
Visual Studio products with the same version and in the same language&mdash;Visual C++ and Visual Basic version 6.0 in English, for example&mdash;can be installed separately on the same workstation. Such installations are supported by Microsoft. The Visual Studio 6.0 Installation Wizard detects if other versions of the 6.0 product line have been installed on a developer's workstation.</p>
<p>Mixing different language versions, point releases, or product tiers on the same workstation is generally not supported. This means that the installation may fail, one or more of Visual Studio 6.0 products may not work even if the installation succeeds, or in the worst case you may not be able to uninstall any of the products completely.</p>
<p>If the Wizard generates a warning during installation, the safest course of action is to uninstall the Visual Studio 6.0 product before proceeding. The detection scheme checks for the following scenarios:</p>
<ul><li>Users <b>installing different language versions</b> of the same product. For example, Japanese Visual C++ and English Visual C++. Installation of certain combinations is supported.</li>
<p>
<table COLS=2 cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5" border="1" frame="below" rules="rows">

<p>
<li>Users <b>installing different tiers of Visual Studio 6.0 products</b>. For example, Visual J++ Standard Edition and Visual InterDev Professional Edition. Installing different tiers of the same product on the same workstation is not supported.</li>
<p>
<li>Users <b>installing point releases</b>. Upgrading a later point release of Visual Studio over an earlier point release is supported. However, installing earlier versions over later versions is not supported.</li>
<p>
<li>Users <b>installing stand-alone versions of Visual Studio 6.0 products over the versions installed from Visual Studio 6.0 Professional or Enterprise</b>. For example, Visual FoxPro 6.0 over Visual Studio Professional 6.0. Installing a stand-alone version of the same language versions (English) of Visual Studio 6.0 products is supported. It is safe to install Visual FoxPro 6.0 (English) from the stand-alone version on a workstation that already has Visual Basic 6.0 installed from Visual Studio Professional Edition.</li>
</ul>

<!--(Sec. 1) TOPIC 3-->
<h4><a name="installingclienttoolsafterinstallingvs">Installing Client Tools After Visual Studio 6.0 Is Installed</a></h4>
<p>
To install any of the following components, you must install them at the same time you install Visual Studio 6.0.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Application Performance Explorer</li>
<li>Data Access Components 2.0</li>
<li>FrontPage 98</li>
<li>FrontPage 98 Server Extensions</li>
<li>InstallShield</li>
<li>NT Option Pack for Windows 95</li>
<li>Visual FoxPro Server Examples</li>
<li>Visual InterDev Server Components</li>
<li>Visual SourceSafe Server</li>
<li>Visual Studio Analyzer</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Use the following procedure to install any of the listed components after you have installed Visual Studio 6.0</b></p>
<ol><li>Uninstall Visual Studio.</li>
<li>Reinstall Visual Studio.</li>
<li>When the setup options appear, select the components you want to install with Visual Studio.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<!------------------------------------------------------>
<!--(Sec. 1) TOPIC 4-->
<h4><a name="webpublishingwizarddisc">When the Installation Wizard Looks for A Web Publishing Wizard Disc</a></h4>
<p>
When installing Visual Studio 6.0 or the Visual J++ Technology Preview 2, and you get a dialog box asking you to insert the Web Publishing Wizard disc, close the dialog box and proceed with the installation. </p>
<p>Neither Visual Studio nor Visual J++ ships a Web Publishing Wizard on a separate disc. Users may get this message when they are installing Visual Studio or Visual J++ to computers that have Temp directories set to removable drives, such as an IOMega's Jazz Drive.
</p>
<p>After your Visual Studio or Visual J++ installation is complete, if you want to install the Web Publishing Wizard, do the following:
</p>
<ol><li>Set your Temp environment variable to a directory on fixed media, such as your hard drive.</li>
<li>Run wpie15.exe from <i>[CD Drive:]</i> \setup of the compact disc.
</li>
<li>After Web Publishing Wizard setup is complete, reset your Temp environment variable directory to its previous directory, if necessary.</li>
</ol>

<h4><a name="runningstandardorserversetupwithmdac2">Running Standard or Server Setup When the Beta 2 Version of Microsoft Data Access Components 2.0 Is Already Installed</a></h4>
<p>
If you have already installed Microsoft Data Access Components 2.0 beta 2, which comes with Visual Studio, and you run the standard or server setup again, you may get the following error message:
</p>
<blockquote>File is installed and supports English. Currently, version <i>number</i> of <i>filename</i> is installed and supports English (United States). The software you are installing contains the same component, but it supports English (United States). Do you want the existing copy to be replaced?
</blockquote>
<p>This message is a known issue, and will not affect your setup. You may ignore the message and click either <b>Yes</b> or <b>No</b> to continue.

<h4><a name="servercomponentsonwin95"></a>Installing Server Components on Windows 95</h4>
<p><i>We recommend installing all server applications on computers running Windows NT.</i></p>
<p>Enterprise and Professional Editions of Visual Studio 6.0 products are packaged with a variety of Micosoft server applications specifically tailored for the Visual Studio developer. Most applications can be installed on either Windows 95 or Windows NT operating systems. We recommend installing all server applications on Windows NT, either Workstation or Server.</p>
<p> If you choose to set up servers on a Windows 95 the order of installation is important. On Windows 95 some applications must be installed before others for the installation to complete successfully and the product to work. Install the components in the following order:
<ol><li>NT Option Pack</li>
<li>FrontPage 98 Server Extensions</li>
<li>Data Access Components 2.0</li>
<li>Visual InterDev Server Components</li>
<li>Application Performance Explorer</li>

<h4><a name="sqlandwinntop"></a>Known Compatibility Issues with SQL Server 6.5 and Windows NT Option Pack 4.0</h4>
<p>
If you install SQL Server 6.5 on a computer with Windows NT Option Pack 4.0 installed, some of your Design Time Controls (DTCs) may be overwritten.</p>
<p>
If this happens, you will get an error message when you launch Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). The message will instruct you to reinstall MTS.</p>
<p>To prevent this situation, install NT Option Pack after you install SQL Server.

<p>When the Installation Wizard launches other client or server setups, the Wizard becomes invisible and waits until the component installation is complete. The Wizard then reappears, enabling the user to install another component.</p>
<p>When you install Microsoft FrontPage 98 extensions on some Windows 95 computers, the Installation Wizard may remain hidden for several minutes after the FrontPage setup is complete.
</p>
<p>During the time that the Wizard is hidden, you cannot launch the setup program again. A second Installation Wizard will not start when the program detects that one is already running.</p>

<p>
To manually correct the problem after you've installed Visual Studio 6.0, you can install Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook and then self-register the IISAM Exchange driver using this command line:</p>
