    Yup, you can’t mess with that.  VS2006 is not a product, check again.  Purchasing VS2005 or 2008 would be easier than trying to find VS6.  Paresh is talking about design-time license checking.  No license checking is done at runtime.  You would have to find VS6 if you actually want to use the control in a ActiveX designer.  Ebay is an option.  Check your company’s records to make sure they don’t actually have a VS6 license.

    Yes.  Only the free Express edition is missing MFC. Hans Passant.

    Works fine when I try it.  Try again later I guess. Hans Passant.


  • msdn5 Hi Hans,I’ve just managed to download the file. I’m not sure what was wrong.However I have another problem. The license agreement says that unless I own Visual studio 2006 I’m not authorised to use it. Is the a legal way around this because I’m using Visual C++ 2002 (version 7), or will I have to purchase Visual studio 2006? I’m working for a comercial organisation so I have to make sure all my software is legalThanks

    OK, I’ve found VS2008 on amazon. Before I purchase it I want to be sure that it includes Visual C++, and MFC. Are these standard components within Visual studio?

    Yes.  Only the free Express edition is missing MFC. Hans Passant.
