Last Platform SDK compatible with Visual Studio 6.0

  • Article

Having had recently the need to use the old Visual Studio 6.0 (specifically Visual C++ 6.0), I discovered that the last Platform SDK compatible with this IDE is the February 2003 edition.

    Your note + google = saved time for me. I never thought I'd be having to use VC++6 in 2008! :)

    Dude, you rock. Thanks to you and Google, I'm able to update this bit of legacy code that I'm suddenly now responsible for.

    I believe you can still order older SDKs from here for shipping and handleing fee: http://mssdk.orderport.net Order Server 2003 Platform SDK here: mssdk.orderport.net/.../productpage.asp

    If you have an MSDN subscription, it is available in the Downloads section under "Platform SDK and DDKs". (as of 5/17/2011)
