Admin Tools

Client Tools

Integration components and Registry Settings

Help Files

Server Applications

This creates a shared database and installs the admin software and the Netsetup program so that you can install the client software from the server. Choosing this option installs the same components as the Shared Database Server setup option in the individual boxed version of the product.

You should use the Server Applications option when you are creating a database that is used by many clients. This option can be used to install a database to a local or remote drive. You should use the Install Visual Basic Enterprise Edition option when you want to set up a local, private database on your machine.

Although the look of the Enterprise Edition setup procedures and the individual boxed version setup procedures are very different, they all install the same components. It makes no difference which product you purchase; Visual Studio version 6.0 Enterprise, Visual C++ 6.0 Enterprise, Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise, or Visual SourceSafe in its own box. The same product and the same components are installed to your computer.
