Answer 1

I don't think that the current remote debuger still works with VC6.0. Here is an explanation on how to use the remote debugger with VC6:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1762/Remote-Debugging-in-MSVC-6-0-Step-by-step-in-the-O

Here anexplanation on how to use the remote debugger of current IDEs:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bt727f1t.aspx

At all I would not use VC6 anymore. The support of this version has been ended long time ago. Professional Software should be made with a version that is in active support.

Answer 3

That should be possible the same way. I debugged a lot DLLs remotely on VM's. You can set in your project debugger setting in command not only executables. You can also name scripts or batch files or even an executable that uses this particular DLL.

Answer 5

Hi,

Welcome back.

Visual C++ 6.0 is not supported now. You can try to use later version of Visual Studio. If you have any more questions about later version ones, please feel free to post it in a new thread.

Have a nice day.
