Installshield For Vb6 Tutorial Visual Basic 6

Vbrun60sp6.exe is a self-extracting executable file that installs versions of the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time files required by all applications created with Visual Basic 6.0. The files include the fixes shipped with Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0.

I'm not absolutely sure about the answer to this question but I would like to follow this thread myself. I believe that the answer has something to do with downloading the latest drivers for your operating system. Possibly updating to the latest service pack for your OS. Thank you for asking this question, because I believe that we all need to know the answer to this.

Is it possible that we might have to compile our apps in every OS environment individually? That is what I think must ultimately be done. I will be following your thread with great expectations. I have had my vb6 programs work on all versions of Windows. I have compiled on XP 32bit, Vista 32bit and now I compile on Windows 8 64bit. A few years ago I decided to add some functions that were not available for Windows 2000 but that is not important now since it works on XP, Vista, 7 and 8 (even on starter versions) all of these on 32 or 64 bit variants. There were some cases where initially my programs would not work and here is what I did.

I'm sure Rob Crombie will jump in at some point, bemoaning the issue of dependencies of your run-time and creating apps that are independent of other components, but the bottom line is that it happens. (Sorry Rob to spoil your thunder:-) As most people have said, there shouldn't be an issue if you follow the guide lines. Jorgearr's list is pretty good, but you also need to ensure that you: a) Use up-to-date database technologies as there are problems with trying to installing legacy DLLs on system that already have a newer version installed. It's the 'I've got a later version already, I'm not going to install that older version' symptom.

B) Use a 'sensible' installer that understands about dependencies and COTS type OCX dependencies such as ADO drivers etc. Then, it's a matter of testing on various clean machines.

Using a virtual machine is good for that. As Rob Lee's implied - is there anything wrong at the moment? Chasing an invisible problem will waste a lot of time.

It has to be said that VB6 isn't fully compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 any other statement would be misleading. I have had a lot of problems with my Old VB6 App and immediately switched to C Sharp the learning curve was rather tiring though, but now I am very comfortable. Some of the issues I have had with my old VB6 app in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is sockets communication, I think this is due to hardened security in Vista and Win 7. VB Apps seem not to work well. My Notify Icon on System Tray used to hang in Windows 7 and vista even when I exit the app but works well in Windows XP. A friend of mine had issues installing VB6 IDE on Windows 8 that's when I learned that The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported as of April 8, 2008 by MS. Displaying a Form in Windows 7 and Windows 8 does not translate to full compatibility of VB6.

There are more issues than that for example Data Connections(ODBC, ADO etc). Some third party libraries that were shipped with VB6 and could be included during compilation may not be in the interest of Microsoft Support that too could bring serious issues in modern OS.

In the very common case of having a Diecimila Arduino, the serial monitor. Drop down menu of the Serial Monitor. Note that this communication baud rate is. For Visual Foxpro Tables Windows 8.

Now, leaving your Arduino program running, and the mircocontroller plugged in via USB (enabling the Serial Communication), open the attached Processing Program.

Having said that the bottom line is that VB6 is obsolete its time to start moving on. On your development machine, create a tiny project, and only have your lvbutton and Crystal as dependencies. Compile that program to an EXE. Use the P&DW (Package and Deployment Wizard) to make your installer. It is in the Start Menu, in the VB folder, in the Tools folder (When I say folder, I mean the Start Menu drill down entries). If you know how to image your drive, create an image of your XP system first, then run the Installer.

Then see if the tiny program runs OK. By imaging the drive, that allows you to experiment, and then undo the installs. Once you have worked out how to do it all, you can make a single installer, with the program of your choice (P&DW or???). Thanks, but someone suggests I use a registrator to register all DLLs and OCXs. So here they are if you or anyone can do it for me, please.
