Probably just exactly what it says, you installed Daffodil but you never installed Visual Studio version 6. Indeed very hard to find nowadays, you need an auction site like Ebay. Premium prices, buyer beware. – Hans Passant

Right click the project from the solution explorer, click properties, when it opens expand configuration properties and open the general tab.

Within there, there is a field called 'Platform Toolset' drop down the row next to it and choose the option that should have v60 in the title!

In order to use Daffodil in versions later than VS2010, you need the platform toolset of VS2010 installed AND the toolset you want to use, which is VS6. Have you installed both?

To use these platform toolsets, you must have the targeted version of Visual Studio installed. Currently supported pl Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015 Daffodil works fine in VS 2012 and later versions as long as VS 2010 is also installed.
