Comments on: Visual C++ 4.0 arrived today! https://virtuallyfun.com/2009/08/12/visual-c-4-0-arrived-today/ Fun with Virtualization Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:00:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Malcolm https://virtuallyfun.com/2009/08/12/visual-c-4-0-arrived-today/comment-page-1/#comment-322108 Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:00:30 +0000 https://virtuallyfun.com/?p=152#comment-322108 Just browsing old stuff and stumbled onto this again, and only now noticed the screenshot on the back of the Visual C++ 4 box is essentially a forgery. Visual C++ 4.0 shipped alongside Windows 95 (with its UI), but NT didn’t get that UI for another year, and Alpha/MIPS don’t run Windows 95. Even installing NewShell on NT 3.51 doesn’t result in something like that screenshot. Either that screenshot came from the Intel version (which is not in this box!) or it came from a pre-release NT 4 that wasn’t public.

In related news, the NT 4.0 SDK has updated headers and libs for RISC (but not the compilers.) The “newest” MIPS/PPC Visual C++ is bundling the NT 3.51 SDK, so the NT 4.0 SDK is a nice update.

I have an ISO of this (I think)..
MSVC40PPC
10eb631b0bda6a7a8185f3b314fc0bc8 VisualC++4.0PPC.iso

But I got this long after I was running NT 4.0 on a RS/6000 ..

I bought a copy of this same software, but the sticker on the front of my box explicitly includes powerpc. Opening the box I have three CDs, one for each architecture. I really wish NT4 ppc could run on old Apple hardware…
