VS 6.0 on Win XP SP2
I am trying to install Visual Studio 6.0 on Windows XP SP2. The
installation goes smoothly until it gets to the section where it copies system files and registers them. It fails on pdm.dll and I believe that this is due to the Windows File Protection. Can anyone tell me how to, or point me to a method of getting past this? |
One thing I've thought about trying was disabling the System File
Checker and then re-enabling it after the installation. |

Make sure no unnecessary programs are running, and that anti-virus+anti-spyware monitors are not running. Install VS6, reboot, then install SP6, then MSDN. Finally, if desired, install the FEB 2003 Platform SDK, the last PSDK that supports VS6. pdm.dll look he http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=227152 Apparently VS SP3 and above will correct it. On my machine this DLL does not even exist, but I only have VC++ installed, no VB etc. Because of this, I would ASSUME that you can ignore any error about it failing to install properly and just install SP6 which should clean things up. |
