Hello Everyone:
I had been using VC++6.0 for many years. To some reason I did not use it for sometime. Today, I use it again and found new question.
When it does the compiling, says:
"This application has failed to start because mspdb60.dll was not found. Re-installing the
application may fix this problem"
BUT I did re-install, the problem persisted!!
Could you tell me the cause and the way to solve it?
so this isnt a programming question, its a problem with some software on your computer (in this case an IDE). did you verify that the required dll is in fact present? i would recommend to upgrade to a free trial/version of newer Visual C++. 6.0 is over 10 years old.
Yes, the "mspdb60.dll" does stay in the "MSDev/bin" together with MSDEV.exe.
As you said it is a question of another software. I don't think it is not caused by the version being too old.
and did you try what it said? i.e. reinstalling VC++ 6.0 (and the latest service pack)?Originally Posted by Yumin

Hello All:
Thanks for reminding me the VC++6.0 is too old.
In my hand there are two versions of VC++: 6.0 and 7.0(Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003) Comparatively, 6.0 has the advantage that it can generate "Project" automatically. With that I
often like to use it.
In the past ten-year, many new version of VC++ have emerged. I really don't know which one
is best including feature and convinence. Could you give me suggestion? I am working on programming
scientific program solving differential equation.
By the way, could we install two versions of VC++ in the same PC, say vc6.0 and one others shch
as 7.0? Do they must conflict with each other?
Look forward to your instruction!
Yes, you can install many different versions of VC++ on the same machine. They install to different directories (by default) so they shouldn't conflict.

Yumin: The latest is always best. The latest is 2008. The express edition is free, so you don't have to worry about purchasing anything.
Hello Everyone:
I am happy for getting so many good opinions.
In the light of suggestions, I am going to install VC++ 2008 Express.
Could I share your experiences of installing this version of VC++.

That's a blanket statement. The software I currently work on does some serious floating point. When we upgraded from VC7 to VC8, we took a 15% performance hit. Only after a long period of experimenting with compiler switches and other non-portable magic did we manage to get that performance back.
Whether the new compiler is "better" obviously depends on what you are doing. VC8 didn't provide any fundamental new features that made it obviously superior to VC7 for our purposes. The only reason to upgrade was to avoid complete obsolescence of the tool chain.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
My problem has been solved. It turn out to be the
changement of pathes caused by reorganizing data.
Some of you suggested to upgrade C++ version, I am look for
new one. Thanks! --Yumin
