Could the vc 7.1 compiler produce debugging info (pdb), compatible with the vc6 ide debugger ? After setting some options, the vc 7.1 compiler just works fine inside the vc6 ide ;-) I can build both release and debug mode executables, but the vc6 ide debugger seems not working with newly generated pdb files. Any idea ?

No it can't. To debug 7.1 code you need the 7.1 IDE/debugger. You might be
able to use windbg though.

Hi. Can I install this without changing my browser to Internet Explorer 6? I know the help documentation in Visual Studio.NET requires it but does this toolkit? Thanks.

Kudos to MS for giving this away for free! I guess this means no more
whining about VS.NET 2003 Std Edition not having an optimizing
compiler.
 
Can you just give me some info or example about how to make windbg work with
cl.exe and link.exe.

Looks like the support library for delay-loading is missing. :(
