Installing VS6 service packs

Hi all...

Do I have to install all the service packs, or is the latest one enough (SP5) ?

SP5 is a cummulative pack. That itself is enough.

SP5 is good enough, AFAIK.

edit: weak, beaten. :p

Thanks guys :)

When installing sp5 it complained about mdac 2.6 not being installed... anyone know where the latest mdac can be downloaded from ?

I assume MS :p but anyone have a direct link ? :)

2.8

or

2.6

here is the MDAC search link:... not sure if this works:

heh... it does ;)

I guess we two are a bit late here in Norway Peet....I am going to install it in two days on computers....:D....

:)

thanks ober

ok, 2.8 or 2.6 ... I'v been using 2.6 in my projects so far.... can I use 2.8 ? or are there any compatiblility issues that you or anyone else out there know of ?

I've been using 2.6 also... didn't even know there was a 2.8 out until I did the search. I can't imagine that there are large compatibility issues with it, however. I would hope that it would be backward compatible... but then it wouldn't be labeled MS, now would it? ;)

Don't think that MS Jet and things like that are included anymore....

No, I don't believe they are. Jet has to be downloaded seperately now.

Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver is no longer included.-....

Wow wow wow...I found a lot of issues here....you should really read this if you are using it at work Peet...

ok guys :)

I'm going to get Emil from kindergarden now.

I will go through all the issuses and see if I'm going 2.6 or 2.8 ...

what is 2.7 ??

It was the buggy version....you at least need service pack 1.0 to use it...that is for sure...
