I purchased the following (software listed below) as a student a number of
years ago for a computer class.
I want to upgrade so I can work on projects running on Windows 2000
Professional.
What version is needed when running on Windows 2000 Professional?
Any service packs or patches?

I don't think I will be working on any dotNET projects so I don't think I
need the latest and greatest.
Just for educational purposes.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Tracey

You can just use version 4 for that.

Yes, {from} C++ Builder 4 :-) Thanks, for catching it.
BTW when looking for "downloads" it did not see any patches for the
compiler.
Are there any?
Thanks, Tracey

I want to ask because the following is why I am concerned about the
version/patches:
Once I had a class (MS Visual Basic 6) and {had} to buy an {MS} Compiler
(which also came with Visual C++ 6 - aka Visual Studio)
Later on re-installing Visual Studio in order to use the C++ overwrote some
of the Windows files with older versions and I had to install the latest
service pack to correct these errors.

Don't know. Never used version 4. If you see updates/patches for
other versions then there probably are not for version 4.
