Install/Uninstall Visual Studio 6.0 Help

[Joe Theis]

I am a complete newbie to all things Visual Studio version 6.0 and I have a
question about an error that I'm getting.

I am getting the following errors when I use an app wizard provided by a
third party in C++ version 6.0:

- No primary platforms are available. The build system will be disabled.
It is likely that a build system 'add-on' platform (.pkg), installed by
Setup, failed to load.

- This project does not contain any configurations whose platforms are
supported by this installation of Developer Studio. You will need to create
a new supported configuration before you will be able to build, run, or
debug your project.

I can use the ATL COM app wizard that comes with Visual Studio and I don't
get any error messages. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it
doesn't do anything different. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,


Joe

Hi Joe,

I am getting the following errors when I use an app wizard
provided by a third party in C++ version 6.0:
...

Based on the error message, it appears the app wizard you concerned targets
on a specific platform which is different from your current system's, would
you please provide more detailed information about what's the third party
app wizard(add-on) you used with Visual Studio 6.0, and is there any
further information on the platform which that app wizard needs?

Thanks!


Best regards,

Gary Chang

Hi Gary Chang,

I am using VS6 for one of my old project and I am experiencing the same error as posted in the first thread.

- No primary platforms are available. The build system will be disabled.
It is likely that a build system 'add-on' platform (.pkg), installed by
Setup, failed to load.

- This project does not contain any configurations whose platforms are
supported by this installation of Developer Studio. You will need to create
a new supported configuration before you will be able to build, run, or
debug your project.

Need your help on this.

Regards,
Shantanu Deo.
