Author Debugging problems with Visual Studio 6 under XPx64

I have moved from an XP Pro machine to a Pentium D system running XPx64
with 2G of RAM. For historical reasons we need to continue developing a
largish C++ product using Visual Studio 6 (SP6). I tested VS6C++ with a
number of small and medium test projects on this system and everything
(including debugging) worked fine

However with the main project, I cannot debug as the debug version
fails to launch when run from within the Studio. That is both "debug
F5" and "execute Ctrl-F5" fail to launch the exe - it halts with a code
1 somewhere before getting to "debuggable code".
"The program ..... has exited with code 1 (0x1).

Interestingly I can debug the application by launching it outside the
Studio and then "attaching" to the process - but this is a major PITA
for sure.
This is definitely an odd x64 issue as 4 other developers are happily
working away under XP(32). Any ideas?

I'm curious as to how you were able to get the installation of Visual
Studio 6 to complete. Mine errors out near the end when it tries to
register a com object or similar?

Thanks
