VS6 Introductory Version

Post by Phox » Fri May 14, 2004 11:20 pm

I compile MQ with VS6 Introductory version that came with my textbook. Whenever I run MQ I get an annoying warning saying that Im not allowed to distribute executables compiled with the introductory version. Thereafter I get the warning after opening ANY application. Is there any way to make this stupid message go away?

Aside from this issue, what benefit is there to getting .net?

edit: deleted sarcastic comment

Seriously, would there be any difference to someone who only uses it to compile MQ and nothing else.

Seriously, no sarcasm. It is better, you avoid a majority of the bugs that end up being "VS6 bug, cuz it sucks"

If you are going to get a compiler worth a shit then get a good copy of VC++ .Net or VS .NET and be happy. VS6 and all it's little happy groupie programs with it are quickly becoming more trouble then they are worth when faced with .NET framework.
On topic, don't expect results from something you got out of a crackerjack box.

if cost is an issue, you have 3 options

1, Save up.
2, Ask a friend if they have it and you can keep a backup copy for them incase their house burns down.
3, Use this Link
