Build the VC 6.0 platform under win7

I. Preface

This article describes how to build the development environment of VC 6.0 in win7. First, we will introduce the compatibility solution between the two so that VC 6.0 can run normally on win7. Then, to enhance the coding auxiliary function of VC 6.0, we will introduce the extremely powerful plug-in visual assist X; finally, in order to improve the user experience of coder, we recommend a modified ideCodeFont gadgets VC 6.0 fontset. Haha, I hope that after reading this article, I will complain that VC 6.0 is a "antique ide" Kids shoes and I will have different opinions ~

Ii. compatibility issues and solutions of VC 6.0 in win7

The first step is to download and install VC 6.0. Note that the SP6 version is required. Here is a thunder for your convenience:

Then there is the installation, attention, the first problem!

(1) Compilation Error

The first problem that many people encounter when installing VC 6.0 in win7 is that the Code is correct, but there is always a compilation error, that is, they don't know what went wrong. Hey, it's actually compatibility.

The following shows a feasible solution I found on the Internet: Select customize (custom installation) during the installation process, select the tools option, and then change the option, remove the check box of OLE/COM Object viewer, and install other files by default. This component is only a viewing tool that does not affect the normal use of VC, but may cause compatibility problems, resulting in compilation errors for no reason.

(2) An error occurred while opening the file.

It was hard to compile and the demo used for testing also ran smoothly. However, when File> open workspace (open workspace) is used for the next time, VC crashes immediately! Haha, the second compatibility question is coming soon ~ The solution to this problem is slightly more troublesome:

• Download filetool. dll (click to download)

• Copy filetool. DLL to the F: \ Microsoft Visual Studio \ common \ msdev98 \ addins folder (not necessarily on the F disk, depending on the specific installation path of your VC 6.0)

• Register filetool. dll: Select Start Menu-> AllProgram-> Attachment-> command prompt, right-click "command prompt", and select"Run as Administrator", Open the" command prompt"

Then type:

Regsvr32 "F: \ Microsoft Visual Studio \ common \ msdev98 \ addins \ filetool. dll" (depending on the installation path of Vc)

Press enter. A message is displayed when the registration is successful:

• Open VC 6.0, choose tools> customize> add-ins and macro files, and check filetool developer studio add-in:

• Right-click the toolbar and select toolbar1:

You can see two small icons in the toolbar area:

Well, we're done! The A on the left is used to add file to project, and the O on the right is used to open a file, so do not use VC file-> open ~

Iii. Visual assist x plug-in and Its Usage

I believe that one reason many people hate VC 6.0 is that they get used to the powerful auxiliary coding functions of vs 2010 against C #, such as the code auto-complete, such as the powerful recycltor, for example, convenient function annotation functions. Switching to the IDE of the last century of VC 6.0, I suddenly felt that it was hard to do it! Fortunately, the old VC 6.0 is still so classic, many VC fans in the world are constantly trying to develop plug-ins to enhance their support for coding. Therefore, the powerful visual assist x plug-in was born!

First of all, it is installed. The paid version cannot be used. It can be cracked! (Note: The cracked version is only for personal learning. Please delete it in the near future! How long will it take for you to know ~ Haha ). The following provides the cracked version of vassistx.

Then, run the installation package in the setup folder and set the path where vassistx is stored. Next, copy the cracking program in the crack folder to the vassist installation path and run it to crack it ~

OK. run VC. If you see the startup interface as follows, the installation of vassistx is successful:

The changes brought about by vassistx are as follows:

• Quickly understand the code

•Make coding smooth

• Easy refactoring

The complete function introduction, of course, should be moved to the official website, super detailed!

Iv. vc6.0fontset-font modification Tool

We also need to pay attention to the idea of IDE's user experience, just as every programmer has his/her favorite code font, such as consolas. However, VC 6.0 itself does not support the font replacement function. Naturally, it comes to mind using third-party tools! We recommend a small tool vc6.0fontset ().
