[RESOLVED] Can't install VB 6 on Windows 7
I've been reading for hours about this problem. I installed the windows virtual pc also. I still have the compatibility issue. So my question is: Has anyone found a way to install VB 6 on a pc running windows 7? Please help.
Thanks!

Re: Can't install VB 6 on Windows 7
Yes, I have VB6 installed under windows 7 32 and 64 pro and ultimate as well as in XPMode under Virtual PC.
If you have the actual VB CD it should not be a problem. There is some issue with the VS6 install under windows 7. I use the VB6 Enterprise CD, run setup as admin and no problems installing. once installed you need to run VB as admin, ideally check that option on the shortcut properties so it always runs as admin.

Thanks. I tried that just now and it doesn't change anything. Still get the same compatibility message. I did however get another message this time - "could not find acme setup file." Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try copying the whole cd to the desktop and installing from there! That is how I installed VB6 when the installation on the cd caused the same error.

WOW MAN!! Thanks! That worked. I didn't install the VS 6 or MSDN because I don't have them. I just installed VB 6 Pro. I still have to get some things figured out though. When I try to open my old VB 6 project I get a message That says "Object Library not registered" But thanks a million!
