MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 Readme © 1998 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Other product and company names herein may be the trademarks of their respective owners. The MSDN™ Library Visual Studio™ 6.0 Readme includes updated information for the documentation provided with the Microsoft® Visual Studio development system for the Windows® operating system and the Internet. The information in this document is more up-to-date than the information in MSDN Library Help. Many of the issues outlined in this document will be corrected in upcoming releases.
For general installation issues for the Visual Studio 6.0 suite of products, including side-by-side product installation, see the readme (install.htm). Contents — Click any of the items below. What's New for This Release New MSDN Viewer The MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 is the first Library release that uses the HTML Help viewer technology. For Viewer Help, click Help from the MSDN menu bar and then click MSDN Library Help.
Setup Issues Setup general information You are not required to uninstall previous versions of the MSDN Library that use InfoViewer 5.0 technology. For example, the July 1998 MSDN Library and all earlier libraries will coexist with the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0. If you do wish to uninstall any library, always use the Add/Remove Programs option from the Control Panel or the Setup program from the CD of the MSDN Library you want to uninstall. Typical, Full, and Custom installation options During Setup you will be asked to choose between Typical, Full, and Custom installation options.
You are able to access all documentation and samples regardless of the option selected. The options provide the ability to move some or most files to your local drive in order to reduce dependency on CD access. The Typical setup option allows you to run the MSDN Library from the CD. Setup will copy the minimum set of files to your local hard drive. These files include the MSDN Viewer system files, contents index files, and Help files that are used by the Visual Studio development products. You will see the entire Library table of contents.
If you select items in the table of contents that have not been installed locally, you will be prompted to insert the MSDN Library CD. The Full setup option allows you to run the MSDN Library almost exclusively from your local drive. Setup will copy all MSDN documentation and some sample files to your local hard drive. (Visual C®, MSDN, and Visual Modeler samples are not copied to your local drive in a Full install.) Files copied also include the MSDN viewer system files, contents index files, and Help files that are used by the Visual Studio development products. Custom installation allows you to specify local installation of a subset of the MSDN Library.
The files you select will be copied to your local hard drive along with the files mentioned in the Typical Setup description. You will be able to access product documentation without having to access the MSDN Library CD for those files that you select to copy locally. In addition to any product or sample files you choose to copy locally, select the Full-Text Search Index to search your product's documentation without need to access the MSDN Library CD. You will see the entire Library table of contents. If you select items in the table of contents that have not been installed locally, you will be prompted to insert the MSDN Library CD. MSDN setup on a network server You can set up MSDN on a network server by copying CD1 and CD2 to a common network directory.
Create a directory on your network drive. For example, C: MSDN VS6. Create the following subdirectories: C: MSDN VS6 CD1 and C: MSDN VS6 CD2. Copy the contents of CD1 and CD2 to their respective directories in C: MSDN VS6 that you just created. Copy the Msdn332.inf file from C: MSDN VS6 CD2 to C: MSDN VS6 CD1.
Copy the contents of C: MSDN VS6 CD2 MSDN to C: MSDN VS6 CD1 MSDN. This should leave the C: MSDN VS6 CD2 directory empty. Delete the C: MSDN VS6 CD2 directory. Install MSDN on the network by double-clicking setup.exe in C: MSDN VS6 CD1. 'Internet Explorer Version Check' message during Setup In order for the MSDN Library to function properly, you need to have version 4.01 with Service Pack 1 or later of a released version of Microsoft Internet Explorer installed on your system.
If you choose not to install the recommended version of Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer 4.01 with Service Pack 1), MSDN will work with reduced functionality. For more information, see.
Note that version 3.02 or later of Internet Explorer is required. During Setup, the 'Internet Explorer Version Check' message box may appear if you are installing MSDN independently of the recommended Visual Studio installation process. This interactive message will appear if you are using a version of Internet Explorer that is older than the version distributed with the Visual Studio 6.0 product.
The message reads (in part), 'Choose Yes to stop setup and install a later version of Internet Explorer. Choose No to continue with MSDN setup.'
If you select Yes, MSDN Setup will halt and display a dialog box reading, 'MSDN Setup was not completed successfully.' You must click OK and manually install Internet Explorer. For your convenience, Internet Explorer 4.01 is included on the Visual Studio CD. Run ie4setup.exe to install. Or, you can connect to to download the latest version. (Note: If you are using Windows NT 4.0, you may need to install NT Service Pack 3. Check for more details.) If you have chosen to install a later version of Internet Explorer, you must then restart MSDN Setup and continue installation.
If you select No, MSDN Setup will continue with installation. If you are using Internet Explorer 3.02 on Windows 95, you must have DCOM 95 or a later version of DCOM installed on your machine for MSDN to work. DCOM 98 is installed as part of the normal setup of Visual Studio. Collection file not found in Windows Terminal Server installation MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 installation will not work properly using Windows Terminal Server. After installation of MSDN, if you select Start, Microsoft Developer Network, MSDN Library – Visual Studio 6.0, you will then receive an error that the msdn.col file could not be found. Workaround You can get MSDN to work properly by moving the hhcolreg.dat file from the Windows Help directory to the specific user profile Help directory.
The user profile directory can be found in the Windows Profiles directory. Preferred collection message during Setup You may encounter the following message at the completion of MSDN installation: 'MSDN Setup is going to set the preferred developer shell's F1 Help Collection to the 'MSDN Library - Visual Studio 6.0' collection you are installing.
Do you want MSDN Setup to do this?' If you select Yes, F1 Help from Microsoft developer products will be routed to the newly installed MSDN Library. If you select No, F1 Help from Microsoft developer products will route to the previous default collection. For more information regarding changing collections, see the topic. Uninstalling this release To remove MSDN Library from your machine, run Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel, select MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0, and click Add/Remove. Select the Remove All button.
Known Issues Collections — Changing preferred collection MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 is the help and documentation set for all the Visual Studio products. During Visual Studio installation, the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 is set as the preferred document collection for F1 help and general documentation help. If an additional developer documentation collection is installed, you may wish to designate that collection as the preferred collection for F1 help and general documentation help. The preferred collection can be changed in the Visual J™/Visual InterDev™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or in Visual C through Tools, Options, Help System.

You should always close the MSDN window before changing the preferred Visual Studio document collection. If you change the preferred collection while MSDN is open, your change is not saved. Contents are not displayed in the right pane of the MSDN Viewer If you are using Internet Explorer 3.02 and Content Advisor is enabled, unrated content, such as the content included in MSDN, will not display.
To view MSDN contents, click View, Options, click the Security tab, and then click Disable Ratings. Note: Changing Internet Options for MSDN also changes Internet Options for Internet Explorer. Selected text will not print Printing selected text from an MSDN page is not supported by Internet Explorer 3.02. Text is not highlighted after a full-text search Highlighting of results from a full-text search is not supported by Internet Explorer 3.02. Internet Explorer 4.01 issues Sample code sometimes does not cut and paste properly Line breaks and formatting information may not copy correctly when you copy and paste sample code from the MSDN Library Visual Studio documentation to your code editor. To work around this issue, do one of the following:.
Manually edit the line breaks after you copy the code. View the sample code source, copy the entire code sample, including the and tags, paste it to your code editor, and then delete the unwanted sections from the pasted version. Text links appear broken and links present security warnings If security settings are set to disable ActiveX® controls and scripting, some MSDN links will not work.
To change your security settings, click View, Internet Options, click the Security tab, and then select the proper zone ( Intranet Zone would be appropriate for most users). Then set the security level at a less secure level to allow links to work. Note: Changing Internet Options for MSDN also changes Internet Options for Internet Explorer. Index — Index subentries sorted under wrong main entries If two keywords differ only by case and one or more of the keywords contains index subentries, then index subentries for both keywords will be listed under the keyword sorted last in the index.
For example, these keywords are authored as follows: data binding ActiveX controls Data Binding key concepts of They will be displayed in the MSDN index as: data binding Data Binding ActiveX controls key concepts of Because Data Binding was sorted in the index after data binding, Data Binding contains the index subentries for both keywords. Locate button is active but doesn't work For some topics, especially those found in Visual Basic® documentation, the Locate button does not work, even though it appears active. Navigation arrows disappear Some topics within the MSDN Library are purposely authored as 'hidden' from the table of contents. These topics disable navigation arrows. You will need to navigate to a next or previous topic by clicking on a new topic in the table of contents. Printing — Multi-node printing MSDN does not recommend printing multiple book nodes. Choosing to print a node with a large amount of content can require a large amount of system memory and take quite a bit of time to print.
If your machine does not have the necessary memory, you may receive an out-of-system–memory message. Content in multiple frames cannot be printed simultaneously If you attempt to print a node in the table of contents that contains other nodes that have HTML 'frame'-based content, the following message will be displayed: 'The selected topics must be printed individually.' You will need to select a book or page at a lower level in order to print the desired topic. Subset issues Using subsets to narrow a full-text search For information about how to create subsets, see MSDN Library Help (select Help and click MSDN Library Help from the MSDN menu).
That document does not contain the following information about how to use subsets to narrow a full-text search:. On the left pane of the online documentation, click the Search tab.
In the Active Subset list, click the name of the subset you want to search. Click List Topics to begin your search. Topic Not Found page does not include subsets When using subsets, if you attempt to follow a link from one topic that points to a target topic outside the currently active subset, you may see the 'Topic Not Found' page. This page does not tell you that the reason the topic was not found is that it exists outside the current subset.
Select the Entire Contents subset in order to access that topic. Stop list is ignored When you use subsets, full-text searches do not exclude words on the.

Search previous results does not work When you use subsets, the full-text search 'Search previous results' feature currently does not work. Defined subsets deleted In some cases, closing and rapidly opening the MSDN Library could result in the loss of some user-defined information, including recently created user-defined subsets. To avoid this information loss, allow the MSDN Library close process to complete before restarting the MSDN Library. Search may erroneously return 'No Topics Found' After a Typical installation, if you conduct a document search without CD2 in the drive and then click the Cancel button, you will get a 'No Topics Found' message. If you make a subsequent search during the same session, the 'No Topics Found' message is immediately displayed instead of a prompt to insert CD2. Workaround Insert CD2 when requested, click OK, and the search will behave as expected. You can also clear the session by quitting and restarting the MSDN Library.
Search results in some languages may display extraneous characters In several languages, primarily those with bi-directional script, the search results display may contain extraneous or incorrectly ordered characters. This may occur in a search containing wildcards, special characters, or punctuation marks. Search results will work properly; only the display of the results is affected. URLs that do not connect Because of the volatile nature of the Web, some Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that connected to Web sites at the time of publication may no longer connect.
MSDN is always working to keep URLs current. If you would like to report a problem link, please email with a description of where the problem link is located. Changing phone numbers Some phone numbers provided in MSDN Library documentation may not be correct.
MSDN is always working to keep phone numbers up-to-date. General Information What are these CHM, CHI, CHW, CHQ, and COL files on my local drive and CD?
MSDN document files are compiled HTML files that have a.CHM file extension. The CHI, CHW, and CHQ files are index files created to enhance index, keyword, and full-text search performance with the MSDN Viewer. The.COL file defines the table of contents of a defined document set, which consists of a number of CHM files. HTML tag information has moved and is not included in the keyword index and cannot be accessed through F1 lookup. If you need information on HTML tags, click the Contents tab in the navigation pane of the MSDN Library to open the table of contents. You can find the reference for HTML Elements inside the Platform SDK folder: » Platform SDK » Internet/Intranet/Extranet Services » Dynamic HTML » DHTML References » HTML References » HTML Elements Library contents The contents of the MSDN Library will continue to evolve.
We have provided product documentation and a substantial portion of the current MSDN Library. The Microsoft Developer Network team does not edit most of the product documentation, specifications, and articles included in the MSDN Library.
You may encounter documentation errors, references to page numbers, and formatting problems. We will communicate any errors you report to the appropriate product documentation groups. You can email problems to us.
Disc layout The MSDN Library is included on two CDs. Documentation, samples, and Setup files have been placed on the CDs to maximize content space and to minimize CD swapping. CD 1 contains Setup and sample files and CD 2 contains document files. Three document files are located on CD 1: Two files, dsmsdn.chm and dshelp.chm, are installed locally in any MSDN installation; the third file, vcsample.chm, is used to link samples on Disc 1. Uncompressed samples Samples are located on CD 1 and are uncompressed. Samples are available for all Visual Studio products within their respective directories.
Some samples are available through document links and others are referenced through Visual Studio product documentation on the MSDN Library. MSDN Library stop list A word stop list has been used to reduce the size of the keyword index and increase search performance. The following words are included on the MSDN Library stop word list: a, am, an, and, are, as, at, be, been, being, but, by, can, could, did, do, does, doing, done, for, from, had, has, have, he, here, how, I, in, is, it, its, may, not, of, on, or, saw, see, seen, she, so, that, the, them, then, there, these, they, this, those, to, too, very, was, we, when, where, which, with, you. If you enter a search query using a word on the stop list exclusively, an error is returned: 'The syntax of the search query is incorrect.'
How to install Visual Studio 6 on Windows 8.1 To install Visual Studio 6 on a computer running Windows 8.1 you need to take several special steps to succeed. Here I describe what I did to install Visual Studio 6 SP6 on Windows 8.1. Contents.
The procedure uses the nice Visual Studio 6.0 Installer by Giorgio Brausi 12. Without using it, the installation didn't finish properly and no uninstall entry was created. Note: many default actions are omitted from the following description.
Preparation. Download and unzip 12.
Start Visual Studio 6.0 Installer and read its help?. Copy contents of Visual Studio Professional / Enterprise CDs to hard disk under a common folder, for example 3:./VS6/./VS6/MSDN CD1./VS6/MSDN CD2./VS6/VSE600ENU1./VS6/VSE600ENU2./VS6/VSE600ENU3. In the next steps, Visual Studio 6.0 Installer will prepare the folders to perform the installation from.
Specify the root folder where to prepare the folders to install from via File Set Root folder.; For me this is D: Users Martin VS6-ROOT. Click Step 1: Prepare Visual Studion 6.0 ENT and specify the path to CD #1 of the Visual Studio 6.0 CD you collected above./VS6/VSE600ENU1. Click Step 2: Prepare MSDN Library and specify the path to CD #1 of the MSDN Library CD you collected above./VS6/MSDN CD1.
Click Step 3: Prepare Service Pack 6 and specify the path to the folder (CD)with Service Pack 6 you collected above./VS6/ENVS60SP6. Further preparation:. Create folder C: Program Files (uac) The Visual Studio development environment files will be installed here to prevent the to intervene 4. That would happen when Visual Studio would be installed to C: Program Files (x86) 4.
Make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio folders from previous Visual Studio 6 installations are removed as well as its registry entries 5. Install Visual Studio 6.
Start the Visual Studio 6.0 Installer. Note: in section Preparation above we already specified the root folder with prepared installation CDs via File Set Root folder.
( D: Users Martin VS6-ROOT). Select Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise (or Professional).
Hello M3RHEINO, Thanks for your post. Jinzai has given you helpful suggestion. When you come back, please have a try. If you think it provides no help, please feel free to follow up. In addition, this forum is for VB.NET questions. For Visual Basic 6 questions, please read: Best regards, Liliane MSDN Subscriber Support in Forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact Please mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have any feedback, please tell us.
If you have had to regress to installing Visual Basic 6 studio on your modern Windows OS (Windows 7, 8 or such) to support or maintain some older software, you will quickly remember the ease of the integrated MSDN library that came as part of the embedded help you could install with VB6. Today, if you do not have the original discs that the MSDN library came on, it can be next to impossible to figure out where to get the right version MSDN help that works with VB6, and once you have it, how to install it best for your VB6 use. This is just a quick guide to help you locate where to download it, get it installed and up and running with your VB6 studio. The guide has 4 main sections:. Downloading the MSDN Library. Extracting the MSDN Library.
Installing the MSDN Library. Test the MSDN Library with VB6. Download the MSDN Library for Visual Basic 6 If you already have the downloaded MSDN library from Oct 2001, skip ahead to the appropriate section and follow the extraction/installation instructions as appropriate. If you don't have anything, read this guide through completely and you will be able to download, extract and install the MSDN library for VB 6. To legally download the MSDN Library for VB 6, you must be a paid Visual Studio Subscriber.
You cannot get access to the oldest archived MSDN Libraries (this one is from 2001) without a paid level Visual Studio subscription (formerly called MSDN subscription). Let me pause for a moment- YES, you can download the MSDN Library 2001 edition from other non-legit sources around the internet. But I do not, and will not, recommend that. Three reasons: 1) It's illegal. 2) Those sites often are simply hackers using the bait of 'free downloads' to get a virus installed on your computer. And 3) I have looked at a number of those sites claiming to archive this specific download and all of them exclude some part of the MSDN Oct 2001 Library from their download chunks- that is, it is missing some part that makes it incomplete. You can hassle and try to figure out if you have all the parts, if they are legit, if they are filled with viruses and if they will work.
Or, you can simply use a legit Visual Studio subscription. I have tried using the free Visual Studio account that anyone can get (Visual Studio Dev Essentials), but it doesn't allow access to the MSDN October 2001 Library (or any of the older MSDN Library downloads from what I can see). I was able to access it via Professional, Test and Enterprise level subscriptions. Once you have your Visual Studio subscription login, then you can go to the download location quickly: STEP 1: When you click on this link, MS will force you to login to your Visual Studio account. You must use your Visual Studio Subscriber Login to access this link: STEP 2: You should see the '2001-10 MSDN Library October' shown in the download results.
You will note the bold, blue box that says 'Download'. Click that box to reveal your download options.
STEP 3:To get the full MSDN library to work with your VB6 Studio, download the 'MSDN Library October 2001 - Full Setup (English)' (this file will be called 'enmsdnlibraryoctober2001dvd.exe'). Alternatively, you can download 3 separate ISO files for CD-ROMs. NOTE: the total download is about 1.2Gb so it will take 20 minutes or so on a 1Mb/sec connection. Extract the MSDN Library Installation STEP 1: Go the location where the download is located. STEP 2: Double click the file 'enmsdnlibraryoctober2001dvd.exe' and run it. It will open a WinZip extractor application. STEP 3: Click 'Unzip' and the MSDN Library install files will be extracted to the directory you selected.
STEP 4: Once completed, click 'OK' on the WinZip completed dialog (should show something like 18981 files extracted). Then close 'Close' on the WinZip Self-extractor app. STEP 5: In the directory in which the files were extracted you should now see a complete Setup.exe and associated files and directories. Install the MSDN Library STEP 1: Double click the 'setup.exe' file and it will begin the install of the MSDN Library STEP 2: Welcome Screen - click continue. STEP 3: Name & Org - Enter what you'd like, click OK STEP 4: Confirm Name & Org - Click OK STEP 5: Product ID Screen - Click OK STEP 6: License Agreement - Click 'I Agree' STEP 7: Choose Install - In most cases, you can choose Typical, however, if you are just installing MSDN Library for VB6 usage, choose Custom STEP 8: Options List - Choose the first 3 options in the custom install, and scroll down to select any other portions you wish to install of the library. Click 'Continue' STEP 9: Desktop Shortcut - click Yes or No, whatever you would like.
STEP 10: Let the MSDN Library install run. It may take several moments. STEP 11: Install Complete - Click OK. Mark, thanks for the note. I have reviewed what you said and updated my article to the appropriate newer information. Thanks for your help, and for pointing this out.
I have updated this post with the corrected information for the new location of the downloads for the archived MSDN Library (2001 / October). Currently, you need one of the paid subscription levels to Visual Studio. The free one does not give access to this download.
Microsoft did release many other things in the archive to its free downloads area, but these archives are not released free via Microsoft downloads. The above article works and is confirmed as the proper process for the newly updated download area in Visual Studio subscription.
