some links for visual studio 6
notes:
Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 5
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718363.aspx
Visual C++ 6.0 Processor Pack
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2005/aa718349.aspx
Note that the processor pack includes MASM earlier versions that are not included in original installation of visual studio 6 by default. Also, this processor pack is only supposed to be patched on service pack 5, not 6.
Later when I reinstalled Visual Studio 6 on Vista, the above procedures didn't work any more. So I had to remove (uncheck) all components and only selected Visual C++ 6.0, and it worked. But SP5 still didn't work because htmed.dll and pdm.dll registration failed due to some registry permission issue. Too complicated to trace the location of the regsitry entries, so I installed SP6 instead ...

If you do not wish to modify this file yourself, you may download it directly from this url...http://www.tnexgen.com/vs6sp5/sp598ent.stf- Once you are done with that, you must run right click 'setupsp5.exe' and choose 'Run as Administrator' (if you do not run as administrator it will not work)

Edit Boot.ini
Right-click My Computer, properties, Advanced tab. Under Startup and Recovery click Settings. Click the Edit button, and add the /3GB switch to the end of the [operating systems] line:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /3GB
Change Visual Studio 2005
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE>..\..\vc\bin\editbin.exe/LARGEADDRESSAWARE devenv.exe
From MSDN:
The /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option tells the linker that the application can handle addresses larger than 2 gigabytes. By default, /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO is enabled if /LARGEADDRESSAWARE is not otherwise specified on the linker line.
If an application was linked with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE, DUMPBIN /HEADERS will display information to that effect.
To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment
Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Setting Visual C++ Project Properties.
Click the Linker folder.
Click the System property page.
Modify the Enable Large Addresses property.
To set this linker option programmatically
See LargeAddressAware
