I have MSVC++ 6.0 installed and running on my Windows 7 computer where I =

maintain and develop MFC based programs. The IDE, the compiler and the =

developed programs runs fine on the Windows 7 computer under an administrat=
or =

account. The software keeps logfiles and settings in the installed director=
y =

under program files but those are mirrored to another directory invisibly t=
o my =

apps in the background by the OS.

I also have Visual Studio 2005 installed before I installed MSVC++ 6.0 and =

there where some problems with newer libraries that where not compatible wi=
th =

the older code when I first tried to compile the MFC based programs but tha=
t =

could be worked around by settings in the IDE and with some of the newer =

libraries replaced with old ones (I don't do MFC with Visual Studio anyway).

If I remember correctly the installer complained about MSVC++ 6.0 was not =

compatible with the OS but I went ahead and installed anyway.
