Does BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) 1.5 require Dot
Net framework on the client side. From what I have read it seems like
Bits 2.0 needs the dot net framework but Bits 1.5 does not.

I am trying to write a wrapper for BITS(Background Intelligent
Transfer Service) to use in our VB 6 applications. At first I thought
about shelling out using bitsadmin.exe utility that comes with Bits
1.5 but then I ran into the problem of not being able to send
parameters (Such as transfer status) from the dos prompt back to my
application so I decided to go with C++. I have tried to run a few
examples available on Microsoft's website but they all require me to
include "bits.h" which I have not been able to find anywhere. Is the
Bits library available only for the Dot net environment/framework or
there is a file out there that can be used in Visual Studio C++ 6.

I have done some research on the internet and found out that there is
a wrapper available for Dot net but have not seen one out there for
Visual C++ 6 or any for VB 6. Has anyone tried to write an application
that uses BITS in a prior than Dot net development environment. Any VB
6 developpers out there that have written a wrapper that uses BITS.

Is there any advantages of using Dot Net instead of regular Visual
Studio 6?

Is the dot net framework required for using Bits on the client side?

Thank you for all your help and input.
