VB6 on Vista Business

[vovan]

I installed VB6 from VS Enterprise CD. I've got a warning about issues with
C++, but since I did not want to install C++, I continued. I also installed
some tools, like Spy++ and some others.
When I'm starting VB I get an error with the caption "Data View" and text
"Automation Error. Error accessing the OLE registry".

Is VB6 compatible with Vista. What does my error mean?

Thank you
Vovan

I have it working fine on Vista Business, You have to run the installation
as administrator. You may find that existing projects need ocxs that are not
supplied with Vista IIRC they are:

msmask32.ocx
MSCOMCTL.OCX
mscomct2.ocx
comdlg32.ocx
comctl32.ocx
RICHTX32.OCX
