• Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0

SUMMARY

For a description of differences between the Professional and Standard Editions of Visual C++, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

The Professional Edition of Visual C++ includes everything from the SDK that shipped with C/C++ version 7.0, with the following exceptions:

• The Dialog Editor (DLGEDIT.EXE) and Image Editor (IMAGEDIT.EXE) are not included. The functionality of both of these tools is provided by App Studio in Visual C++.



• CodeView for Windows (CVW) version 3.07 is not included. An updated version of CVW, version 4.1, is shipped with Visual C++.



• The LIBENTRY.ASM and LIBENTRY.OBJ files used for building dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) are not included. Code that provides the same functionality is included in the Visual C++ DLL (dynamic-link library) run-time library. This is mentioned in the README.WRI file shipped with Visual C++.



• None of the SDK help files in QuickHelp format are included because QuickHelp (QH.EXE) is not shipped with Visual C++. All of the SDK help files are included in WinHelp format.



• The Setup Toolkit is not included.



• The RAINBOW sample is not included although it is described in the online help for the SDK samples. This is mentioned in the README.WRI file shipped with Visual C++.



• The following text files are not included:
  
  
  • README.SDK
