Win 10 VB6 Install

[SteveM22]

Suggestions please.
I have a set of CDs for VB6 Enterprise.
I have VB6 from MSDN subscription (expired).
I cannot get VB6 to properly install on Win10.
AI looked at the version of the vb6 files and said my version is to old to install properly.
Trying to install based on all methods seen on the internet or help from AI only allowed a partial working install. then Win10 would not allow SP6 installation because it said VB6 was not installed even though I see it in the ProgamList.
AI tried to adjust the Registry but failed.
So I have an IDE that will run but I cannot get SP6 features in the code or compilation.
I have several large applications i would like to work with and compile on Win 10 as some code being needed requires Win 10 like high res webcam usage.

Anyone, please share the registry fixes or whatever it take to do a complete Win 10 install.

I know others have successfully installed VB6 SP6 on Win 10 so that is old news.

should be numerous posts about this in this forum. u can install it on w10-11
I didn't even need to create that dummy java.
but basically: create a dummy, zero-byte file named MSJAVA.DLL in your Windows directory (notepad, create, save, rename)
look for SETUP.EXE and run as admin. thats it

You need to uncheck the outdated Data Access components in the Setup wizard (specifically ADO, RDS, and OLE DB Providers). Then everything will work fine.

yeah...this topic has been discussed ad nauseum....and yes, following the summary post(s) by Elroy in the past, one should have NO problem installing VB6 and SP6...I must have done this at least 10 times after 10 came out (go a lot of computers! :-))

I did all that ! And it still will not install properly. AI even attempted to do registry fixes but still could not do the recognized full install and SP6 was still rejected. So according to AI your successfully installs were due to a later release if VB6 than i have. So still looking for answers, reg tweaks or whatever. Also one of my Win 10 laptops OS is up to date, VB6 fails. The other win 10 laptop will not take the Win 10 OS update from MS so did not try to install VB6.

It seems there is some registry tweak that the AI cannot figure out so the SP6 will know that VB6 is installed. Anybody ?

Telling me there is no problem does not help ! Someone here must be smarter than AI

I had no problem installing on Win10 but had lots of them to install on WINE (Linux).
This is what I did:

• Open the SETUPWIZ.ini file in the VB6 folder.
• Copy all data from SETUPWIZ.ini into a new textfile, except the following two lines:
NTSP = NTsp3\nt4sp3_i.exe
NTSpMinVer = 3
These lines of code are used to search for the latest service pack on the system and will install Service Pack 3 for the Intel platform, if not present already.
The two lines above are what caused the service pack issue.
• Rename the new textfile SETUPWIZ.ini and add it to the VB6 folder, replacing the old SETUPWIZ.ini file in the process – This step needs to be done as the old ini file is read only and cannot be modified.
• Run the SETUP.exe again and the “Install Service Pack” screen no longer appears.

JAVA ISSUE DURING SETUP:
* create an empty file named MSJAVA.DLL in C:\Windows (eg: cd . > MSJAVA.DLL)
