Is there any possibility of a Visual Studio .NET 2003 service pack? We've upgraded to this version from VC++ 6 (and, sadly, are not in a position to downgrade to the earlier version), but are suffering from severe losses of productivity because the support for simple things like adding classes, variables, and methods does not work correctly. Since Whidbey has been substantially delayed, we're being pretty badly hurt here.

Can anyone tell me whether this service pack (SP6) is the last service pack for Visual Studio 6.0?

Will there come a ProcessorPack for SP6 ?

Hi Max,

I'm not sure if any other SPs are required. I'll try an install tonight and let you know.

Thanks!

There is no processor pack for SP6 nor will there be. If you need the processor pack features you need to continue using SP5, or upgrade to VC7/7.1 which integrates the processor pack features directly.

How Do You Tell...

Anonymous — Tue, 20 Apr 2004 14:52:00 GMT

...which service pack you have installed? Or whether you have installed 6 or not, in case you forget? Help | About does not show any difference.

Broke my code. I included new.h in my source file and it caused an internal compiler error on line 69.

The line reads:
typedef unsigned int size_t;

Oh well, back to SP5.

Looks like strlen changed. Code that worked with SP5 now causes access violations in MSVCRTD.DLL (version 6.0.8797.0 was uplifted to 6.0.9782.0).

That's really lame of microsoft to not make a processor pack for this.

re: Visual C++ 6 Service Pack 6 Available

Brian — Thu, 22 Apr 2004 20:06:00 GMT

Two things. First, you can install this service pack directly on a new install of Visual Studio 6. No other service packs are required.

Second, to determine your current service pack level, you need to look up a registry value.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0\ServicePacks

View the REG_DWORD latest value. The data value equals the service pack version.

Here's the KB article about it.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316915

I'll pass on the other comments to the team. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

It seems to me that the package is somewhat broken.

When you execute and it unpack, you get only two HTML files (readme.htm and toc.htm), but inside, they have references to a contents.htm file and thus one can't read the release notes before deciding this SP is worth the trouble.

VS6SP5 had also contents.htm, slerrors.htm and javah.htm, so it seems at least the first one is missing from SP6.

PS1: I downloaded the package on Monday Apr 12

PS2: In spite of other reports here I guess I will wait for some M$ move before putting my code @ risk by installin this stuff.

I am looking for a software to install Microsoft Visual C++ 6 to my computer. Is this the software to do it or does this work WITH Microsoft Visual C++ 6?

re: Visual C++ 6 Service Pack 6 Available

Mike — Tue, 27 Apr 2004 14:55:00 GMT

Where do I find all the other service packs and descriptions of what each ones addressed? I'm looking to fix a particular problem I'm having with the GetWindowText() fxn. From what I'm reading here, it looks like I may not want SP6.
thx

re: How do you tell

Thanks for the information, that really helped!

re: Visual C++ 6 Service Pack 6 Available

asdf — Thu, 29 Apr 2004 11:37:00 GMT

GetWindowText is in user32.dll. I'd imagine you would need an OS service pack to fix that. And I would also bet the problem is with your code instead because that is an often used function.

This code fails to run with SP6. The index i is always between 0 and arr.GetCount(), but the bound check in the operator[] fails. The code runs fine with SP5 and Net 2003.

template<class T> class CArray
{
private:
int m_Count;
T m_Data[100];

public:
CArray( void )
{
m_Count=100;
memset(m_Data,0,sizeof(T)*m_Count);
}

int GetCount( void ) const
{
return m_Count;
}

T &operator[]( int index )
{
if (index<0 || index>=m_Count)
OutputDebugString("err\n");
return m_Data[index];
}

void Del( int index )
{
m_Count--;
memmove(m_Data+index,m_Data+index+1,(m_Count-index)*sizeof(T));
}
};

int main( void )
{
CArray<int> arr;
for (int i=0;i<arr.GetCount(); ) {
if (arr[i]==0)
i++;
else
arr.Del(i);
}
return 0;
}

I'm noticing no change whatsoever. Whereas SourceSafe and Visual Basic show changes, VC++, including the About, still show that it is in its original form. What's up with that?

sp5=100mb, sp6=50. I mean wtf?

This fails to install. I also get this in the error log:

VisualStudio 6.0SP6 で ProcessorPack

Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 5 を当てる。 Processor Pack を当てる。ここまでの工程は Processor Pack のヘルプやヘッダのインストールに必要。 \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\c2.dll をコピーしておく。 (以下 SP5 の c2.dll と呼ぶ) Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6 を当てる。 SP6 の c2.dll のファイル名を変更する。 SP5 の c2.dll を元の場所に戻す。...
