Hi,<br>
I just installed Visual Studio 6.0 on Windows NT Workstation 4.0, Service Pack 3.0.<br>
Installation goes fine. I am able to run everything else, but visual C++. When I run it I get the Splash screen and then a run-time error related to the msdev.exe... the message box also says &quot;abnormal program termination&quot;.<br>
I looked on the msdn website, but they don't seem to have anything regarding vc++ 6.0 and the msdev.exe.<br>
Any help is appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>

I've seen this when starting VC++ by doubleclicking on a project file. Have you tried just invoking VC++ by Start¦Programs¦Microsoft Visual Studio¦... ? Also, are you running with Visual Studio service pack 3? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? Are you attempting to open a workspace with an auto-open macro? Do you have automatic SourceSafe integration enabled? Lots of questions, but no firm answers... :)<br>
