SYMPTOMS
Visual J++ is not installed by the Visual Studio setup, even though Visual J++ is included in Visual Studio.



RESOLUTION
Install Visual J++ from the separate setup on the Visual J++ CD.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Visual J++ was not at ship quality at the time required for inclusion in Visual Studio. Microsoft felt that an officially-released product should not install beta software, so Visual J++ was pulled from the Visual Studio setup. Also, Microsoft wanted to make it easy to update to the final Visual J++ 6.0. As a result, Microsoft could not tie the Visual Studio setup to the version of Visual J++ that was available.

The version that originally shipped in Visual Studio version 6.0 was Technology Preview 2. The release version of Visual J++ 6.0 currently ships with Visual Studio 6.0. However, the installation is still not integrated with Visual Studio setup. If your Visual Studio 6.0 program contains a pre- release version of Visual J++, then you can use the product fulfillment coupon that is included inside the box to obtain the released version of Visual J++ 6.0.
