Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition

Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition.

The next version, version 6.0, was released in June 1998 and is the last version to run on the Windows 9x platform.[39] The version numbers of all of its constituent parts also moved to 6.0, including Visual J++ which jumped from 1.1, and Visual InterDev which was at 1.0. This version was the basis of Microsoft’s development system for the next four years, as Microsoft transitioned their development focus to the .NET Framework.


Visual Studio 6.0 was the last version to include the COM-based version of Visual Basic; subsequent versions would include the version of the language based on .NET. It was also the last version to include Visual J++, which was removed as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems that required Microsoft to stop producing programming tools that targeted the Java Virtual Machine.

Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual FoxPro had separate IDEs, while Visual J++ and Visual InterDev shared a common new environment. This new IDE was designed with extensibility in mind, and would go on (after several internal revisions) to become the common environment for all languages with the release of Visual Studio .NET.[10] Visual Studio 6.0 was also the last version to include Visual FoxPro.
