There are various things needed for a VB6.0 program to be able to successfully run on Vista, and I don't think it can run on Linux.
Welcome to the forums kababayan!
Thanks for the warm Welcome and for the information kababayan.
how about on MacOS?
Not sure about that, I have no info regarding MacOS.
Moved To General Developer
VB6 apps, natively, will not run on macintosh machines, but, they can be ported to both Macs and Linux.
I doubt it.... VB6 needs the VB6 runtime libraries, and as faras I know, those are only available on MS Windows.
do you need something that is cross platform?

The Mono Framework is supposed to work on Macs and Linux, so you could write .NET applications instead.
VB6 will not on 16 bit Windows either - only Win95 and higher. So, if any of your clients still run Win 3.1 tell them it's about time to upgrade. :)
Yeap there are platforms to run it on either linux or MacOS.Quote:

Exactly so hence then mention of "platform". Been a while since I looked at the cross OS release thing as we're pretty much standard behind a web interface currently rather than desktop.Quote:
