How to deploy a VB6/Twinbasic Application in Cloud with Azure Virtual Desktop?

I'm looking for a short description:
How to deploy a VB6/Twinbasic Application in Cloud with Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure and Windows 10?/11 desktop, and the use o the new "Windows App" Remote Desktop Application

This would contribute to the interest in deploying Windows cloud applications with TwinBasic and shows the true future potential of the new Twinbasic development environment.
It would be magnificent!

Hmm, I know neither VB6 nor tB has any kind of specific feature to automate this, beyond VB6 having a very ancient tool that's more of a install creator for local machines (and needs to follow special instructions to not seriously break Windows 10/11).

But the good thing about both is they both can produce highly portable .exes with no dependencies besides those preinstalled on all Windows versions since 2000; so they should be able to integrate with any deployment tool that can accept a list of binaries to copy and (if used) components to register?

Does twinbasicbasic have any plans to make some open source basic parsers into ASP and VBS? We still need a parser.

Hello!
There is extensive documentation in the Microsoft academy, and it seems this document below is the basis for making a brief description, of course it will have to be simplified to what is relevant for a specific example case with VB6/Twinbasic.

A YouTube video channel would be a highly desired form of dissemination and evangelization. By the way, do you already have an official VB6/TwinBasic channel on YouTube?

How good it would be to see the community grow much more and make things practical and replicable for everyone, in the English community and my Spanish language community.
A dream to fulfill by 2024 :wave:

Thanks for the great work of the Twinbasic community!

The tutorial you posted; it looks like you would just distribute a virtual disk image where your app is installed and configured. Create a new VM, install Windows, install your app, save a copy of the VM in that state. Or convert your exe or installer to an MSIX package (they have a tool for that). I don't think is tB, or even VB6, specific, so you might want to ask somewhere where there's people experienced in this sort of thing if no one responds around here (try the Application Deployment subforum here on VBF too). VB6 and tB would be a regular desktop application, as opposed to a Store App/UWP app, for deployment purposes.

Microsoft does not have an official VB6 YouTube channel.

Here is the official twinBASIC YouTube channel. But it's *extremely* out of date; the videos are all from the very early days of tB, years ago before it even had it's own IDE and was still a VSCode plugin. All the features it shows off still exist, but obviously there's so much more now and the interface is different (and will be different again next week; IDE is getting a major overhaul, that's part of the reason for no recent releases). Hopefully it will be updated before the big 1.0 release.

Also note tB has a GitHub repository where there's quite a bit of activity (there's a Discussions section in addition to the Issues reporting), and the biggest and most active tB community spot is the twinBASIC Discord server.

Can I take a screenshot without logging in to Remote Desktop?
How to do this while Remote Desktop is locked. Capture the screen image of the normal state of the entire desktop.
Or intercept an image of a program window with a specified handle.
