Question
Friday, January 25, 2019 4:58 PM
I do not currently have any versions of MS Studio or an MSDN subscription. I need to build a project that was created with VC6. The project builds a DLL that acts as a wrapper for the USB HID library. I am trying to find out the least expensive way to compile this project. If there is a free download of VC6 available, that would be great. If I have to purchase a stand alone license or a monthly subscription for the current version, that would be OK as long as it will open and compile my VC6 project. From the on-line documentation I can't tell what purchase options will give me access to VC6.

Hello,
If all what you need is a project compilation - you can use C++ compiler from service pack for Studio 6.0
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9183
Full version of C++ you may try to get from Archive.org
https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftVisualC6.0StandardEdition
But I didn't try this - have Studio 6.0 somewhere on disks.
Sincerely, Highly skilled coding monkey.

Hi TonyG,
Welcome to the MSDN forum.
The support of the Visual C++ 6.0 is ended up on 9/30/2005, please check this, the official download resources seems already gone for a long time, sorry for this inconvenience.
Maybe you can have a try like Andrey said, see if install the Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++ 6.0 can help you compile this application or not.
Best regards,
Sara
