Which C++Builder should I use?

I have been trying to write a Windows Shell Extension,
with little success so far.
Should I use C++Builder 6 or C++BuilderX?
C++Builder 6 comes with a lot of options for creating
COM objects, etc. On the other hand, I always try to
use the latest and greatest versions.
Thanks,

Re:Which C++Builder should I use?

If your aim is afternoon project tinkering, use C++Builder6, aka BCB.
It is aimed at RAD development for Win32, and provides things like
ActiveX and COM wizards and an excellent GUI designer.
If your aim is enterprise cross platform development, look into CBX.
It has better support for developing console applications and can handle
multiple toolchains for projects and the Enterprise version has
excellent support for UML modeling and refactoring.
