Unless you don't know, Microsoft has (or had) an introductory edition of their product Visual C++ 6. It has a messagebox that says it was made in the Intro edition and is not liscenced for commercial purposes, but was otherwise functional.

Anyways, I was successfully able to use Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 with it, and now there is no more message box! I get no errors, and only 1 warning that says a parameter has been outdated. No more Dev-C++ for me! (well, maybe).

It wasnt too hard. You set the directories to go to the Toolkit directories (go to Tools->Options, click the directories tab). The main thing is to make the VC++ directories ABOVE the old directories, so VC looks there first.

Uhm, well, you are cracking the software doing that. You might want to stick to Dev-C++ if you want to stay on the right side of the law

I didn't crack it! I just set the directories in the options.

But yeah, it does say "Not liscenced for commercial use," regardless of the fact that there's a different compiler...

What is the meaning of "commercial use" anyway? You can't release it to the public, period, or you just can't do anything that involves making money with it?


I spelled "disappointment" wrong. Pahintulutan ang di-inaasahang nakakahiyang pagkakamaling dulot ng kamangmangan. Have at you.

You cant do anything with it if you sold the resulting executable.
