  Can we set-up a web test for a secure, https, site Can anybody tell me how to or any pointers would be useful.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista Beta 2 (5384)?

  Does anyone know how to get around the MDAC check in the Service Pack 5 setup of Visual Studio 6.0 For some reason it doesn't detect MDAC 2.5 or higher which it requires (even though Vista obviously has a later version - 6.0) and the setup will not continue from that point.
