Win8 Debugging with VC6.0

Workaround for vc++6.0 cannot be run under Win8.1

Note the last step in the installation process will be stuck there, you can directly close the installation program, ignoring the error.

1 after the installation is complete, locate the MSDEV.EXE in the installation directory
and will MSDEV. EXE changed to MSDEV3. Exe

2 compatibility mode modified to WinXP SP2 or SP3

3 Start MSDEV3.EXE, if the error, shut down, and immediately start again, normally you can start normally, after a successful start, you will be able to run normally
4 Cancel compatibility mode, if good luck, also can run normally, if you do not mind, has been running in compatibility mode can also
If you fail, you can try to change the MSDEV.EXE to another name, and then set the compatibility mode, you can certainly run successfully, normally run once, then you can run normally.

If you want to debug the program below this step is key **************

Turning off OLE RPC debugging (Tools/options/debug) works for me (Windows 8 Pro, Visual C + + 6.0 with SP6). This solution is suggested (later) within the above-mentioned MSDN forum thread.
