Hi slashman,<br />
<br />
Seriously, you are in for far more work that you expect. The command line parameters will have changed, there are more stages to the build process etc etc.<br />
<br />
You'd be better off using a make file or installing VC6 on another machine for the final builds and just debugging and browsing on 2005.<br />

I'm using an older software that only supports Visual Studio C++ 5 or 6. &nbsp;However, I have already upgraded to the MS Visual Studio 2005. &nbsp;It is important for me to use this software so I'm trying to make it work. &nbsp;Anyone have experience with doing this?<br />

I need to point to the cl.exe, the C libraries, and *.h files for C<br />

I'm thinking if I can point to the correct folder/files in Visual Studio C++. &nbsp;It might work. &nbsp;Anyone know the specific place to find it? &nbsp;Please help!!!<br />

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
