Install ONLY package entry. Assumes CD contents are copied to "VisualStudio6" directory in your distribution point.
This has only been tested with VS6 Pro.
Visual Studio 6 requires the MS Java VM to be installed before VS6 can be installed. The installer for this is in the IE4 directory on the Visual Studio 6 CD. This also requires a reboot unfortunately, before moving onto VS6.
<package id="msjvm" name="MS Java VM (required for VS6)" revision="1" reboot="true" priority="0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft VM for Java" />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\VisualStudio6\IE4\msjx86.exe' />
</package>
And now the rest of Visual Studio 6. The registry file "key.dat" is included on the CD, and simply tells the installer that the first GUI stage of installation has completed.
<package id="vs6" name="Visual Studio 6" revision="2" depends="msjvm" reboot="true" priority="0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition" />
<install cmd='regedit /s %SOFTWARE%\VisualStudio6\key.dat' />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\VisualStudio6\acmboot.exe /qt /g c:\vs6inst.log' />
</package>
