This Chapter describes how to install Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and provides an overview of the Visual C++ Components to help you choose the appropriate installation options and to introduce you to the product. The chapter concludes with instructions for using the companion CD provided with this book.
- Installing Microsoft Visual C++
To use visual C++ 6, you must be running Windows 95 or a later version, or Windows NT version 4.0 or later (see the visual C++6 documentation for additional requirements). To install Visual C++ on your hard disk, insert the product CD into you CD-ROM drive (if there are several CDs, insert the first one). If the CD Autorun feature is enabled on your computer, the Setup program will automatically begin running after a few seconds. If this doesn't happen, run the Setup.exe program in the root folder of the CD. Then simply enter the requested information, and setup will install Visual C++6 on your Hard disk.

The Particular Setup Options and components that you see depend on whether you have the Visual Studio 6 product (Which includes Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6, Visual J++6, and other development environments) or you have just Visual C++ 6. The available options and components also depend on which version of visual Studio 6 or visual C++6 you have Standard, Professional , or Enterprise.
The Setup program will give you the opportunity to customize your installation by choosing individual components from a series of dialog boxes. For example, If you're installing the Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition, the Setup program displays the "Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Custom" Dialog box shown in figure 1.1 The components listed in this dialog box include all the major development environments provided with Visual Studio 6.0 (Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, and so on), plus the following common tools and accessories that you can use with one or more of the development environments:

Check the box next to each component that you want to include in your installation, and clear the check mark from each component you want to exclude. Click the Select All button if you want to include all the components.
Each of the main Visual Studio components shown figure 1.1 consists of a collection of subcomponents, which you can choose individually (except ,sit. ActiveX, which has no subcomponents). A check mark in a dimmed box ipth-cates that the component will be installed but not all its subcomponents. To specify which subcomponents are installed if a component is checked, highlight the component by clicking on it, click the Change Option... button, and then select the subcomponents you want in the dialog box that appears. For example, if you highlight Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and click Change Option..., the Visual Studio Setup program will display the dialog box shown in Figure 1.2. This dialog box lists the installable subcomponents that are specific to Visual C++
