    Wink Getting source code of a project

    Hello,
    It is good to see you all. Its been a long time since i posted a thread in here, i was in the army in the past 2 years, and i still got 1 year to serve.
    Anyway, I would like to know how can i get the source code of a project i compiled?
    I dont have the source files of VB, only the Setup file. Is it possible?

    Unfortunately no, otherwise anybody could get the source of any app.

    If the program was compiled as p-code then there are some programs on the web that claim to be able to decompile an exe but I'm sure that the result will have no recognizable variable names, etc. If your program is compiled as Native code your out of luck.

    Made a quick little program to help determine what VB version was used to compile the program, and what options you have.
