Can Visual Studio 6.0 fit Windows XP?
boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 when prompted at the startup of the system and selecting Safe Mode. Then attempt installation again.





If the installation does not succeed and returns one of the errors listed in the "Symptoms" section of this article, continue with the following steps:


1. Clear the Temp folder by removing any previous incomplete installations.


• The default location for the Temp folder on Windows 2000 is C:\Documents and Settings\Profile\Local Settings\Temp C:\Winnt\Temp or, if upgraded from Windows 98, C:\Windows\Temp.


• The default location for the Temp folder on Windows NT 4 is C:\Temp C:\Winnt\Temp.


NOTE: To discover the location of your Temp folder: on the Start menu, click Run, type %temp%, and then click OK.





2. Try to manually start Acmsetup by typing the following command line:


E:\SETUP\ACMSETUP.EXE /T *.STF /S E:\ /n "" /o "" /k "YYYYYYYYYY" /b1


where E is the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive letter, and YYYYYYYYYY is the CD key for the product (the /k options and its argument should be omitted for Service Pack installations).





NOTE:The specific *.stf file that is required for the manual command line will vary depending on the specific product you are installing. Search the \Setup folder on the CD-ROM of the product you are installing for the *.stf to use. For example, for Visual Basic 6.0 Professional, use VB98Pro.stf.


If you still cannot install the product by passing the command line manually, continue with the following to repair the NTVDM process.





Nullify any nonstandard settings in the Config.nt and Autoexec.nt files in the system root\System32 folder. To do so, use an REM statement to remark out each entry except the following default entries:


Config.nt





dos=high, umb


device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys


files=20





Autoexec.nt





lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe


lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir


lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx


lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16 (only if CSNW is installed)*


lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx (only if CSNW is installed)*





* CSNW is Client Services for NetWare


NOTE: Another way to accomplish this is to expand Autoexec.nt_ and Config.nt_ from the Windows NT or Windows 2000 CD-ROM to the SystemRoot\System32 folder:


• To expand a single compressed file, use the Expand.exe program. This program is located on the Windows CD-ROM in the I386 folder.


• To expand the required files:


1. Insert the Windows CD-ROM into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.


2. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:


C:\WINDOWS\System32\Autoexec.nt


3. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:


EXPAND X:\i386\Config.NT_ C:\WINDOWS\System32\Config.nt


4. Restart the computer and try to install the product again.
