Win7 下安装 VC6 和SP5

Though this isn't supported and you get the normal warnings about maybe not working on Windows 7, but i now have it installed and compiling.

Found a solution to this that actually works well. Essentially you have to hand edit the STF file for VS6 Service Pack 5 to skip the MDAC check.

1. Install VS6. Do a custom install and deselect Visual Analyzer, along with anything else you don't need. I ended up installing InterDev and VC++ with some misc. tools.

2. Extract Service Pack 5 files to a folder.

3. Modify SP598ENT.STF to remove 36 (the MDAC check) from the list in step 13

   13  Group 28 36 38 29 30 32 26 27 14 25 16 17 20 18 19 15 39 21 22 24 23 43

   and save the file. For completeness, you can remove step 36 (and 37) entirely, but it isn't necessary. Those lines are as follows (and it's safe to remove them or ignore them, as long as 36 is removed from step 13):

   36  Depend "27 ? : 37"
   37  IsWin95 CustomAction "sp598ent.dll,CheckForMDAC"

4. Run SP5SETUP.EXE and let Service Pack 5 finish installing.

5. Install Processor Pack normally.
