    Resolved [RESOLVED] VB.Net and VB6 on same machine

    I am currently using VB6. Can i install VB.Net on the same machine?
    If i can, are there any side effects? Is there a need to restart the machine if i switch from one version to another?

    I would like to upgrade to VB.Net but need to retain some code for VB6 but can't afford to buy another machine.

    Thanks for any help.

    VB 6 and any of the versions of .NET can be installed and run on the same system without issue. They are all designed to run along side of each other as they are completely different programs from each other. As long as you make sure to install each to their own folder location you are good to go.
