    Is possible install on Windows 10 x64 Visual Studio 4?
    « on: January 04, 2019, 07:12:26 PM »
    Hi!

    We all know that Visual Studio 6 can be successfully installed on 64-bit Windows 10.
    Is possible to do with Visual Studio 4?
    Q has reason and my purpose - there's possible to compile 16-bit applications.
    I'm using also Visual Basic for DOS and successfully compile and test any application, of course 16-bit.

    Thank you for help.

    As an aside- The first version of Visual Studio was Visual Studio 97, or 5.0. Before that, Visual Basic, C++, etc were separate products and not part of a suite.

    Presumably, though you are talking about Visual C++ 4.x.

    The answer is no. Aside from not installing, the ability to compile to 16-bit is something that was provided by bundling the product with the 16-bit Visual C++ 1.52, which of course does not run on 64-bit Windows.

    For Visual Basic 4.0, the 16-bit version compiled 16-bit applications, and the 32-bit version compiled 32-bit applications.

      I didn't. Or did I? Google probably has the answer readily available, which I guess means, I readily have that knowledge available, does that mean it is my knowledge?

      Shandy,
      You say you  are a new.
      You should pass up Visual Studio 4 because it is not up to date and  may cause you trouble. If you have Windows 10, then get a recent version of Visual studio that works well with Widows 10. For personal and educational usage it is free.
      Search 'Free version of Visual Studio' and find it.
      https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/express/

      There are free tutorials available.

        Thanks Geek, but I'm not interested in VS, are you confusing me with the OP maybe?

        I was just making a horrendously bad joke is all.

        Pssh everybody knows you can install VS6 on Windows 10. That is one of the questions asked before you are given a work visa to leave the birth canal.

          Ahhhhh, makes total sense now.

          Probably for the best. Being deported back into the womb is unpleasant for all involved.

            If a software is not installable natively on windows 10 but is installable thru a virtual machine, does that count as still being installed on windows 10?  :P
