MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 ReadmeThe Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 Readme contains the following sections:
Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3The Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 includes all of the fixes in Service Pack 1 and 2, and upgrades the following Visual Studio applications:
Microsoft Visual Studio 97 (Professional and Enterprise Editions) Microsoft Visual Basic, version 5.0 (Professional and Enterprise Editions) Microsoft Visual C++, version 5.0 (Professional and Enterprise Editions) Microsoft Visual InterDev Microsoft Visual J++, version 1.1 Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, version 5.0 Microsoft Visual FoxPro, version 5.0 Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) LibraryThese Visual Studio applications should be shut down before installing this Service Pack. Install this Service Pack whenever you have updated or changed any of the applications in Visual Studio to ensure that you have the latest fixes. NOTE: The Visual Studio 97 service packs are not intended for use with the Learning Edition of Visual C++ 5.0.
Installing the Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3To install the Service Pack, insert the compact disc into your computer's CD-ROM drive. If you have downloaded and decompressed the Service Pack, or if the Service Pack Setup does not automatically launch, go to the root directory of the Service Pack and run Setup. The setup.exe will detect the language of your computer's operating system and run one of the following setups:
\fra\setup (French) \deu\setup (German) \enu\setup (English) \jpn\setup (Japanese) \esp\setup (Spanish) \kor\setup (Korean) \chs\setup (Simplified Chinese) \cht\setup (Traditional Chinese) \ita\setup (Italian)The Service Pack Setup detects any installed Visual Studio applications and the specific languages those applications use. (Files are checked for language, determined by the operating system settings and the individual file settings.) This Service Pack supports the following languages: Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese. During the installation, the Service Pack displays the files to be installed or updated based on the installed applications detected. After updating your installation of any of the Visual Studio applications, the Service Pack appends any actions to the VS97SP3.log file, which is stored in the root directory of the drive where Windows is installed. If you run the Service Pack again, any additional file updates are appended to the end of the log file.
Determining the Files That Setup InstallsSetup does not install all the files included in this Service Pack on your computer. If the file does not exist already on your computer, in most cases Setup will not install an update for it. Setup does not make any entries in the log for files that are not present. If the file on your computer is a more recent version than the one in the Service Pack, Setup will not update the file on your computer. The setup log will state "File is up to date" for each file on your computer that is the same version or more recent than what is on the Service Pack. Some .cab files are included in the Service Pack for redistribution only. Setup does not install them as part of the product update. You must copy them from the compact disc as needed.
Interpreting the Setup Log FileSetup will perform one of two actions for each file in its file list. If Setup detects that a file is not installed on your computer and the file is not required, Setup will neither install it nor create a report in the log. Otherwise, Setup will report in the log one of the following conditions for each file in its list:
Updating Files Previously Modified The primary way Setup determines which files to replace is by checking the version information in a file's resources. However, some files, such as text files and non-binary files, have no resource information. In these cases, Setup uses the time stamp to determine which files need to be replaced. If you have altered the time stamp on any of the Visual Studio component text files or files that do not have version information, then Setup may not replace those files. Source files and header files are examples of some files you might have changed. Check the setup log to determine which files have been updated. You must evaluate each of the files that is not updated to determine whether you should use the Service Pack version.
Determining the Update History of the Products Based on File VersionsTo determine which updates have been made since the initial release of a product, you will need to examine the version number in the properties of one or more files. To determine the update status of a product:

Also note that even for updated products, some of the files did not change from one Service Pack to the next. The InfoViewer tool is used to display online Help for Visual Studio and MSDN. It has also been updated several times. However, files were not changed for Service Pack 3:
Version on Files Release MSDN April SP1 MSDN July SP2 ivauto.dll 5.00.7022 5.00.7022 5.00.7055 5.00.7055 5.00.7198 deviv.pkg 5.00.7022 5.00.7022 --- 5.00.7022 5.00.7198References to Service Pack 2 in Visual Basic 5.0 point to files that were not changed in Service Pack 3. After you install Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3, in Visual Basic 5.0 you will encounter many references to Service Pack 2. These references are not bugs. Rather, they indicate that files did not change in this current Service Pack. Installing the correct version of MFC42.dbg and MSCVCRT.dbg on your computer: You need the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 version of MFC42.dbg and MSVCRT.dbg to debug dynamically linked retail builds of MFC applications in Visual C++ 5.0. You might not have the correct version of these files if you installed Visual C++ 5.0 at a later date. To ensure that your computer has the correct version of these files, copy the Service Pack 3 version of MFC42.dbg and MSVCRT.dbg from the \All\VC\Debug directory of the Service Pack compact disc or the expanded image of the Service Pack web download. Place these files in the \Windows\System directory of your Windows 95 computer or the \WinNT\System 32 directory of your Windows NT computer. Replacing the default version of ATL.dll installed by Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3: Setup for Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 will install the ANSI version of ATL.dll by default on both Windows NT and Windows 95 computers. On Windows NT computers, you may choose to replace this file with the Unicode version of ATL.dll, also supplied in this Service Pack. To do this, copy the ATL.dll file from the \all\vc\redist\directory of the Service Pack compact disk or from the expanded image of the Service Pack 3 web download, as appropriate.
Updating the Microsoft Developer Network Installation on Your ComputerVisual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 recognizes previous releases of the MSDN Library, but it will not recognize the October release. The MSDN Library's October release writes an incorrect value to a registry key. IMPORTANT: If you plan to install or have installed the October release of the MSDN Library, and you plan to install Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3, do the following before you install the Service Pack:
Uninstalling the Visual Studio 97 Service PackThe Service Pack cannot be uninstalled independently of the product tools being updated. To uninstall the Service Pack updates to a Visual Studio 97 tool, such as Visual C++ or Visual Basic, you must uninstall the tool. The Service Pack updates will be uninstalled with it. Then, reinstall the tools without the updates. Because many interdependent components of the Visual Studio 97 tools are simultaneously updated by the Service Pack, the products may become unstable if you roll back of some of the updates, or if you run Setup in maintenance mode from the original product compact disc. This instability can occur because of the combination of files that are updated and files that are not updated. To avoid an unstable combination of updated and old files, you must remove all of the Visual Studio 97 tools completely if you want to remove the Service Pack updates or if you want to remove parts of the product. If you had not installed everything in your Visual Studio suite before applying the Service Pack and you now want to add some of the remaining components, make the additions first, then apply the Service Pack.
Notes on Fixes in the Visual Studio Service Pack 3Microsoft Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3 includes all of the fixes in Service Pack 1 and 2. Do Not Use the Microsoft Utility RegClean 4.1 with Visual Studio or Any Visual Studio Applications. If you run RegClean 4.1 (build 97.71), you might find (if you have Visual C++ Enterprise or Visual Basic Enterprise installed) that the Database Designer no longer works, or (if you have Visual InterDev installed) the Database Designer and LinkView tools no longer work. If you have run RegClean, reinstall the Visual Studio applications, as appropriate.
Active Server Pages (ASP) Browser Component Does Not Recognize the BrowserIf you are installing a new release of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, the ASP browser component object may not work in Visual Studio. The string identifying the browser may not be present in the browsecap.ini file, which is located on the Web server. The solution is to either manually change the file or download a newer version of the file from the Internet Information Server (IIS) web site. The version of the browsecap.ini file that currently ships with the Visual InterDev server components does not recognize Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 as a valid browser. This results in an error when running an .asp page using the browser component in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02. An updated version of the browsecap.ini file as well as a 1.0b updated version of Active Server Pages is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/iis/. Once there, click the "Get IIS" button and choose "Other free software," then "Updates for IIS." Choose a new compressed or uncompressed browsecap.ini file to download. A full download of Active Server Pages English 1.0b is available under "Get IIS" as well. The 1.0b English version provides full DBCS enabling and some fixes.
Updates to SQL Server and Visual Database ToolsYou must download SQL Server Service Pack 2 for working with Visual Database Tools and/or Visual InterDev. The SQL Server Service Pack 2 is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ServicePak.htm. SQL Server Service Pack 2 fixes several issues with the relational engine of Visual Database Tools including:
Microsoft Internet Explorer Security Options and InfoViewerInfoViewer, the integrated online documentation viewer included with MSDN and Visual Studio, relies on the Microsoft Internet Explorer security settings for active content. The online documentation included with MSDN and Visual Studio includes some active content. If you set your Microsoft Internet Explorer security's maximum security options while browsing the World Wide Web, some types of hyperlinks in your online documentation will not work. Allowing Microsoft Internet Explorer to download an ActiveX control and then automatically executing the downloaded code is a legitimate security concern. However, you can protect against this problem and still use the online documentation included with MSDN and Visual Studio. To do so, complete the following steps:
Special Instructions for Visual C++ for Microsoft Windows CECustomers of Visual C++ for Windows CE may experience problems with the Visual Studio family of products. If you want to install any part of the Visual Studio Service Pack, uninstall Visual C++ for Windows CE first. If you encounter any problems using Visual C++ for Windows CE with Visual Studio, call Visual C++ for Windows CE product support. If further information becomes available, it will be posted on the web site for Visual Studio 97 Service Packs (http://www.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/) and in the Knowledge Base (available on the web at http://www.microsoft.com/kb/).
Updating Visual C++ .map FilesVisual Studio 97 Service Pack 2 updates the following .map files if you installed them in your system or system32 directory with Visual C++ 5.0. If you installed these .map files to a different location, used some derivative of these files, or used the .map files directly from the Visual C++ 5.0 compact disc, you will need to update these files manually or reference them directly from the Service Pack 2 compact disc. You can find the Service Pack 2 updates to these files in the \all\vc\debug directory on the Visual Studio Service 97 Pack 2 compact disc.

It enables apartment-model threading for Visual Basic projects that contain user interface elements, such as forms and controls. This apartment-model threading enhancement is explained in vb5sp2.htm (vb5sp2.wri on some systems), which supplements the online documentation you received as part of your licensed copy of Visual Basic. Service Pack 2 fixes problems with the development environment, the Printer object, the Internet Transfer control, and many of the other controls and libraries that ship with Visual Basic 5.0. In the development environment, the following issues were resolved: several stability problems, including crashes that sometimes occurred when moving the cursor over the toolbox, when setting the Font properties of multiple controls, and when using the Format menu options to align controls. For the Printer object: Setting the Printer object to an item in the Printers collection will now switch the default printer. You can now set a user-defined scale mode for the Printer object by changing the ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight properties. Font attributes are no longer lost when calling the NewPage method. Internet Transfer control: POST now works. Problems with missing or garbled data are fixed. The control no longer converts file names to upper case when sending out a request, thus eliminating reported problems accessing case-sensitive servers. Visual Basic 5.0 for Service Pack 2 includes a new master dependency file (vb5dep.ini), which is installed in the Setupkit directory. The existing dependency file is renamed ~vb5dep.sp2.
