Is there a decompiler that will work with Visual Studio 6 C ++

I have a project that I'm trying to fix from a guy who left (let go) from my company. He violated every fundamental principle of software development by not using the source control, without backing up the source, before making more changes, etc. Etc.

I need to make changes to the application that is in the field, and I do not have the source code, but I have an executable. I need a decompiler that decompiles a Visual Studio 6 C ++ application and provides me with some type of source code. Does anyone have any ideas.....

Good thing the decompiler is from Hex-Rays: http://www.hex-rays.com/decompiler.shtml

This is very good for creating C code from Assembler, but it works very well. It is also quite expensive.

Edit: An additional note in conjunction with IDA Pro is a fairly well-known disassembler. This can already show you a lot of information in combination with a decompiler, which is even easier to cancel the code.

Decompile what is assembler?

There is nothing that will give you the meaning of C from exe.

I used RecStudio (rec22) and IDAPro to try to decompile the project in C ++, together they probably would not be enough to do my job, except that I developed the demo project on which the program was based, they gave enough information so that I can do something similar to the same project again.

In the end, another thing I did was to compile the code, which I thought corresponded and checked that I got the same result in the decompiler.

Good luck.
