Yes ok.
The loop variable rhd% I mean went up to 71 - or more if I let it.
The code in between is big but unrelated rather than not.
I 'll try again and post.

I wrote a small program like this:

For rhd% = 1 to 2

< some routine

text.text = str$(i%) + other indices internal to the routine >

next rhd%

No I 'm not calling the commands in the immediate subroutines.
The exact code is too big. I was only debugging where the x,y,z are calculated.
But what can I do to see the hidden decimals in both...

Well first does it do the same to you ?
I don't know how many digits really I need. Perhaps two is ok but we are talking about the error.
What baffles me most is why two separate subroutines using...

Similar behaviour is observed with (x-y)/z, before the exponentiation.

i do have the !s. Only here I omitted.

Also I have two independent subroutines doing the same thing.
The T values I designate as (1) in my previous post come out different in the 6th decimal place !

I 'm trying to solve a mathematical problem and using VB6 my code computes three numbers x, y, z.
Their values are x = 88.04261, y = 86.39919, z = 0.6955 in single precision.

Now the final...

It's simle to test.
Select 10,000 random numbers and put them into an array x() and another 10,000 and put them into another array y().
Then compute Ztotal with the two methods.
Then the same with...

If you want to perform a test set {x}= a set of 10,000 random values from 0 to 7, precision two decimal digits.
For {y} similarly.
Also say A = 0.5, B = 0.5, m = 2, n = 2 (or with the exp function...

I don't know the result.
You think it's the single precision creating errors ?
If so which of the two formulations is more susceptible:

exp(-a*x^m - b*y^n)

or

A^(x^m) + B^(y^n) ?

χ-y 0 to 5 say. m,n 0.5 to 3 say.
a, b who knows ? But their equivalents 0 to 1.

Now is it single precision the culprit and would double precision help ?

I 'm into some instrument calibration programming and involves a quantity of the following type:

z = exp(-a*x^m - b*y^n)

x,y are data (some 10,000 of each type).
a, m, b and n are parameters...

I can't dock the immediate window in the bottom part of the screen.
I 'm trying to drag it down but if I do that it becomes like a popup.
Also the headline is not blue but white.

Solved: Tools - options - editor format - changed font from Courier to Arial Greek.
Now it works.
The locale was Greek from the beginning.

However there seem to be some minor issues from pc to...

I don't seem to have any Greek in the development environment, in the code window, immediate window.
Why ?
In my old installation I could use Greek.

I have a test program running now and I can't...

Yet another mystery is now with Greek characters.
I have Greek fonts in my pc, I can use them in word etc.
In my vb project files there are some hard coded Greek, label captions.
But in the...

It installed, after copying the javasign.dll to the syswow64 folder and following the instructions in the last guide.
The program compatibility assistant warning is a false positive.

I assumed the PCA warning is a false positive and ran setup as XP SP3.
First I treated the Java issue like it says here:

Here it describes the PCA message as false positive to be ignored:

Don't know if it willl complete but I 'll try it.

Everybody is tired, including you know who.

See this:

I 'd like to see what "method 3" does for various cases but I...

Looks like you did.
I have those good instructions now:

https://www.raymond.cc/blog/install-visual-basic-6-vb6-in-windows-7-without-microsoft-virtual-machine-for-java/

But it seems impossible...

Of course I know that. It belonged to a family member who does n't do any programming. Only music and historical photographs.
Then my badly deployed vb6 worked and I distributed software from it....

Ok. I feel confident your instructions will help. But I 'm tired now. I 'm just sitting infront of the computer watching youtube.

Feels tired right now.

Retired - lives in the country.

No.
In my old tower machine there was no vb and it belonged to someone else as well and I first used it because my laptop had another problem (spilled coke).
The installation hanged but before...

No you did n't but I saw xp service pack 3 somewhere.
I tried to make file explorer to show me the various options but it does n't do that.
I 'll try what you said tomorrow.

I don't have compatibilities in the file explorer properties.
So I made an effort to install gpedit to change this.
It did n't work. In compatibilities gpedit it mentions only the 16bit...

acmsetup does n't work.
Proceeds a little then it says "you must use the installation wizard" - presumably the setup.

Pirated copies of software are 99.99999% percent of the time perfect copies as we all know - except that they are pirated of course.
Apparently you are the guy with less knowledge of computers here...

What you say is possible but has nothing to do with the originality of the software - it was seemingly erroneous setup.
And I can't revive cds that have been damaged 17 years ago if that's your...

I did what you say.
acmSetup is in SETUP folder.
It shoots off without producing a windows warning but says setup.ini file not found. What to do ?

It does n't contradict.
The setups were from downloads, same as from vbfoums itself another time.
I don't have the old cds, also explained.
What could make it unruly is the absence of the original...

I am on a fresh formatted machine without any vb6 on it badly installed or otherwise.
In the old machine the installation crashed -when it was done- maybe because I did n't tick off the "data...

It's illegal ok.
I hired a private eye once upon a time and then the police caught the pirates
Then without a lawyer I wrote myself a shambles of a legal document, but nevertheless they were...

We all know it's copyrighted and not public domain.
I don't know if ms are selling it now - have to enquire.
But I am a legal owner and the problem is not the key - it's the installation glitch,...

Yeah ok.
This was not as planned but it is apparent now that someone wants to see the links in vbforums pointing to download sites.
To help microsoft go to the bank I 'm mailing the links to them....

It's gotten out of control because someone accused me out of the blue of doing pirated copies.
And this when at the same time vbforums contains lots of download links for vb6 installers.
My cds...
