I recently installed Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 7. I was hoping that my old console apps from Visual C++ 6 would easily compile in the new 2017 environment, but no such luck. Does anyone know if Visual Studio 2017 can be configured into a mode that accepts code from VC++ 6? Or, might it be possible to install Visual C++ 6 on Windows 7? That's the compiler that I want to use.

The main problem is that the new Visual Studio 2017 requires usage of "namespaces". And this new Visual Studio doesn't like or can't find my header files, such as "fstream.h", and it doesn't like me using old functions such as "strtok()". My old console app don't compile in the new environment.

I'd appreciate any tips. Thank you!
