The installation CD may be defective (see illustrations in attachment). Even when we use the downloaded installation 6.9.2, we cannot manage to get anything to work with C++. We are not experts in C++ but have some third party code to get working. We can't even get the examples to work, though, so it is either ignorance of C++ on our part or missing things from faulty installation. The VB examples all seem to work just fine.
