Visual Basic 6 Combatibility

[Guest]

Im thinking of upgrading by current XP Pro installation to Vista Home
Premium, but I can't if Visual Basic 6 is not compatible with vista as I need
to run VB6 (i know its old) for some project work. Has anyone successfully
installed Visual Basic Studio 6.0 on their vista machine?

VB6 has full Vista support. Microsoft have said that is one of the dev
tools which is supported - in fact - the only dev tool other than VS200!
The rest of Visual Studio 6 is not 'supported' (ie. not guaranteed to
work the same) but VB6 and VB6 runtime is fully supported on Vista.

Hope that helps.

I haven't installed it but VB6 is a supported application in Vista. The
rest of Visual Studio 6 is not.

I've got VB6 and VC6++ installed. I just checked and C++ runs although it
gives an incompatibility warning, as does VS2003.

You want the letter with the little tail that goes down (the one to the
right of "o" on your keyboard), not up.

That's not saying one won't encounter troubles. I haven't tried VB6 yet,
but VS2003 (VB) worked fine.

Too late. If I have problems I'm only quoting the first message in my
flames.

I said I installed it. I didn't say it worked. <G>
