Does the free edition of Visual Studio .NET 2003 C/C++ Compiler include everything the retail version would include? I'm thinking of replacing Dev-C++ with it, so I can start with GUI programming.

Of course it doesn't. Microsoft probably have some sort of list showing you the differences on the MSDN site.

I don't know of a VB equivalent.

Nevertheless it won't let the Working Modal Edition compile VB6 code which is what this thread is about.

Bl00dninja: I downloaded the zip you linked to, and it does seem strange microsoft include the package and deployment wizard given that it doesn't compile

If you cant get your hands on Visual Studio 2003 .NET get SharpDevelop, its free and works great! (Currently using for C#)
