Topic: Where can I buy MS Visual C++ 6.0? (Read 3453 times)

Or whatever software is needed to make a stab, someday, at creating missions for SFC OP? It's my understanding that I'll need the professional version of MS VC++ version 6.0.

Any info is most appreciated.

Well, I'm told its still possible to find it on eBay.

I've had no luck on EBAY. That was the first place I tried. I'll keep searching there, but I'm surprised it's so hard to find.

Does one have to have the Pro edition? won't any other do?

Any how, depend on how much you want to spend:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3621679580&category=1251
Pro edition, $320

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3622281655&category=46327
Standard, only $10

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3622239756&category=46327
Here is a doozy, Enterprise Edition, $300.

(all based in U.S.)

Keep searching, ebay has everything made by man...

(of course if you don't like ebay, use google, there are still independent selling it.)

I'm using the standard edition, but I see no reason why any of the others wouldn't also be adequate. So long as its VC++ 6.0 SP5, is the main thing.

Thank you. If the standard edtion can do the trick, I'll be a happy camper.

Standard edition will do fine.

Thanks guys for the help. I won the bid on the standard edition, and it looks as if I'm going to be getting a number of instructional books on VC at a pretty good deal. It will take me quite some time, but over the next year or so I'll be using it as a homeschool teaching subject for my son. I'm sure in no time he'll begin to catch on. He already scares me how fast he seems to learn when it is a subject that he's interested in.

I know I've learned a TON about computers from the SFC community. I'm pumped at the thought of working on some scripts in the coming months!!!

BTW, can anyone give me a checklist of useful items, program, tools, to be able to write and/or modify scripts for SFC OP? Thanks again.
