SUMMARY
Installation Notes contains vital information about installing Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 -- Development System for Windows and the Internet, and its family of development products. Information in this file may apply to all or a number of the products shipped in the Visual Studio suite. This Readme updates information provided in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 documentation.

The entire Installation Notes are in the file, Install.htm. This file is installed during setup in the Visual Studio 6.0 directory. Please see the REFERENCES section for other parts of the Installation Notes.



MORE INFORMATION
This article lists installation issues identified for server-side components shipped with Visual Studio. The following topics are in this article:
 * Minimum Requirements for Installation and Operation of Server-Side Components
 * "Setup Already Running" Message Shows Up During Installation of Server-Side Components
 * Installing Server Components on Windows 95
 * Known Compatibility Issues with SQL Server 6.5 and Windows NT Option Pack 4.0

Minimum Requirements for Installation and Operation of Server-Side Components
Consult the following table for information on operating system, browser, and other dependency requirements for installation and use of server-side components.

"Setup Already Running" Message Shows Up During Installation of Server- Side Components
When you install the Visual Studio 6.0 server-side components on a Windows NT server computer, using the Installation Wizard, you may encounter the message "Another copy of Setup is already running. Complete the other Setup or restart Windows."

This situation typically occurs on slow computers where the Wizard timer runs out while waiting for an ACME setup to finish, and the Wizard starts the next setup.

Click OK in the message box. This action tells the Wizard to terminate one of the conflicting processes and continue with the remaining installations. The summary page that is automatically generated at the end of setup lists the components, if any, that were not completely installed.

To install the specific component that failed, run setup wizard again.

Installing Server Components on Windows 95
It is recommended that you install all server applications on computers running Windows NT.

Enterprise and Professional Editions of Visual Studio 6.0 products are packaged with a variety of Microsoft server applications specifically tailored for the Visual Studio developer. Most applications can be installed on either Windows 95 or Windows NT operating systems. We recommend installing all server applications on Windows NT, either Workstation or Server.

If you choose to set up servers on a Windows 95 computer, the order of installation is important. On Windows 95 some applications must be installed before others for the installation to complete successfully and the product to work. Install the components in the following order:
 * 1) Windows NT Option Pack
 * 2) FrontPage 98 Server Extensions
 * 3) Data Access Components 2.0
 * 4) Visual InterDev Server Components
 * 5) Application Performance Explorer
 * 6) Visual Studio Analyzer


 * (Any Order) Visual SourceSafe Server
 * (Any Order) Visual FoxPro Server Samples

The Installation Wizard presents these options in the same order. Again, ordering is significant on Windows 95 only.

For other issues relating to Windows 95 computers, go to Issues Specific to Windows 95 Computers.

Known Compatibility Issues with SQL Server 6.5 and Windows NT Option Pack 4.0
If you install SQL Server 6.5 on a computer with Windows NT Option Pack 4.0 installed, some of your Design Time Controls (DTCs) may be overwritten.

If this happens, you will get an error message when you launch Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). The message instructs you to reinstall MTS.

To prevent this situation, install the Windows NT Option Pack after you install SQL Server.
