| Tasha | Hi, I was installing MSVS6 and after I selected the programs I wanted (All of them) It came up with an error "Couldn't Find ACME Setup." And then another recommending I restarted the installation, I restarted 3 times, and it had the same error every time. Does anybody have any thoughts why I can't install it? | October 17, 2004, 10:01 PM |
| LW-Falcon | Wrong forum ;) Where did you get your VB studio? | October 17, 2004, 10:12 PM |

| K | Are you running Windows XP with SP2? I have heard of issues installing VS6 with SP2 installed. My suggestion would be to uninstall SP2, try installing again, and then reinstall SP2. I also ran into this, but I don't know why it would matter: [quote] I have windows xp pro sp(2) installed on my system. sp is also updated from the microsoft site. recently i tried to install visual studio 6.0 but soon after the installation starts it stops with an error - acme setup not found. can someone help on this problem Create a new c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt file with the following contents: [code] @echo off REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment. REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF. REM Install CD ROM extensions lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe) lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir REM Install DPMI support lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3 [/code] It seems that the WinXP SP2 install removes this file. Go figure. [/quote] good luck! | October 18, 2004, 1:44 AM |
| Mephisto | I wonder why SP2 seems to cause so many problems with software. What did Microsoft change to cause such problems to arise? lol | October 18, 2004, 2:13 AM |

Justin, it shows that error then gives me "Visit http://www.microsoft.com/msdn for FAQ" or something. And thanks, K i'll try that. | October 18, 2004, 11:01 PM |
