How to convert a Visual Studio 2005/2008 project to Visual Studio 6

Question

Is there any tool to convert a Visual Studio 2005/2008 project into Visual Studio 6? Thanks.

Answer 1

Doubtful. I'm sure Microsoft has nothing of the kind.

I assume this is a C / C ++ project? VS 6 was before .NET.

I think your best option is to start with an empty VS 6 project and manually add the source files.

After adding the source files, the compilation attempt should quickly tell you which libraries / included folders you need to specify.

Answer 2

Microsoft . vc7 vc6-. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/prjconverter.aspx

Answer 3

I do not know such a tool. Instead, import the individual source files into a new VS6 project.

Answer 4

To take a long shot here, but an article appeared on Codeproject about converting the solution to a Linux Makefile file and using the file under VC6 ... Would it be useful?

Hope this helps, Regards, Tom.
