This article was previously published under Q201305 SUMMARY
Even though Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and Visual C++ 6.0 can coexist on the same computer, debugging a Visual C++ 6.0 application with the Visual C++ 5.0 debugger is a problem because of the differences in the .pdb file formats that are used by each version.
Another problem is the incompatibility between the debug versions of the MFC DLLs.
