VB advance add-in - hosting website down - reg key required

[DaveRobinson]

Karl E. Peterson's One-Stop Source Shop used to host the installer for add-in "VB Advance". It's been made freely available; has been for a few years now, but it does require a registration key to be entered, which was openly available on that site alongside the installer download link. The key is about five short lines of text. Does anyone possibly have it saved & could post it here or PM?

I just found Karl's site ok here https://classicvb.net/

It was returning a Error 404 for a few days, hence the link to the internet archive I posted .

Migrating all my Dev tools to Win11 and am having problems with this add-in. Anyone using vbAdvance on Win11 + VB6 Enterprise? Did you have to do anything special to get it to run? This is the error I get:

Error Number: 9
Error Description: Subscript out of range
Error Source:

I would try to reach Karl: https://classicvb.net/feedback/ IDK if he is still around.
I would ask if he would like to share the source code of the add-in.

Or, try opening the project directly from the vbp file, not the IDE alone.
Or try by opening the IDE with admin rights (in the case that you are trying without admin rights).

What specific functionality do you need?
Maybe there are other add-ins or settings in the VBP file which have the desired functionality
