Nor can I download any .ZIP file from Karl's site.
Which one are you looking for? Maybe another member has a copy that they can make available for you.
I have the Console.zip file from https://classicvb.net/samples/Console/

. . . which is ironic because the sample has become obsolete long before its host expired :-))Quote:

Here's a copy of the samples page:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/p384a...mples.zip/file
You can open the index and browse all the pages; it's a site rip. All the zip files are included.
Warning: Some of the zips contain exes; all I can guarantee is that the files are exactly as-is from when I DLd them a few years ago, I haven't personally checked each one.
i have download all of the files.
Thank you very much. I have been hunting for Shell32.zip of Karl Peterson for quite some time. I was searching all over the place for shell32.zip without any success. By sheer chance, I searched today for "classicvb archive" and I landed up in this thread.Quote:

I find the links in https://classicvb.net/tools/ are also broken. Would you please share the complete website rip of classicvb.net ?
Also, if you happen to have full website rips of such defunct VB websites, kindly start a thread exclusively for that and post the download links, please.
It would be of immense help for people like me who are rediscovering the classic VB.
Thanks in advance.

@Yakkov,
It looks like the classicvb.net files are still there, but the backend system that changes the clicked linked URL to the correct file URL is broken.
For example, if you go to the CCRP High-Performance Timer Library page here: https://classicvb.net/tools/ccrpTmr/ and click the Download ccrpTmr6.zip link, it will take you to this URL: https://classicvb.net/tools/snatch.asp?id=ccrpTmr6 and you will see the following error message:
The clue for the correct URL is on the second line. If you remove the snatch.asp?id=<whateverid> portion and add _files/<whateverid.zip> to the end and press the Enter key, you will be able to download the file. So using the CCRPHPT example again, the correct URL becomes: https://classicvb.net/tools/_files/ccrpTmr6.zipCode:ccrpTmr6
/tools/_files/ccrpTmr6
Err.Number = 429
Err.Description = ActiveX component can't create object
Err.Source = Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Oh wow,Quote:

Useful.
If you wanted to download the appIcon.zip from the samples, what would the URL be then?
Sadly I couldn't figure that out. Looks like the trick only worked for the "tools" folder. I tried some guesses for the "samples" folder, but none of them worked.Quote:

Yes, that was the right one. How did you get that? Was it in one in your collection already downloaded or did you find a sneaky way to access Karl's samples?Quote:

Oh well.
I have the whole site downloaded...
I have a backup of the site, it is not complete but it is fine.
and he also had many examples.
a greeting
Unfortunately this mediafire link is no longer available. Would you mind reuploading it so I could grab a copy please?Quote:
