Installing .NET

[charles]

I have been told that installing .Net on machines which
have Developer Studio (VB6 and C++) causes problems.

Can anyone tell me if this is true, and what measures might be
taken to avoid problems.

Thanks

I have never had a problem. I run VB6 and VB.Net 2003 on my machine.

"Developer Studio" being Visual Studio 6 ?

I have VS 6 SP5 and VS.NET 2003 installed on my machine with no issues
whatsoever. They do use separate MSDN Library for their help files. You'll
want the Oct 2001(?) MSDN Library for your VS 6 install. And the latest
MSDN for VS.NET.

The order of install doesn't seem to cause issues either.

I have never experienced such problems. Once I heard about a problem with
VB6's Data Environment, but I am not sure if this occurs on all machines.
If possible, install VB6/VS6 before installing VS.NET.

I have full VS 6 and VS.NET running. It is ok.

Don't want to forget that if you develop for the 1.1 you need to add a
..config
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
<supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
</startup>
</configuration>

Sorry Michael,

I don't understand what a .config is....
Can you explain what it is and where I need to put it.

Thanks
