Silverlight is defined as a Tool. Tools are supported with the product they work with. However, support may be terminated by providing a minimum 12 months' notice. Microsoft will continue to support Silverlight by shipping updates to the latest version of Silverlight runtime. Updates and new versions of the Silverlight runtime are backward compatible with web applications built in previous versions of Silverlight and will include the latest security enhancements, performance improvements, and product fixes.
Silverlight 5 will support the browsers listed on this page through October 12, , or through the lifecycle of the underlying browsers, whichever is shorter. Go here to learn more. Run the installer and go through the setup steps as usual.
When you reach the component selection window, nothing has to be changed because the edited STF already did it. A warning will popup that this component is an essential part of the application and it will not run properly if not installed. Click OK to acknowledge the warning and then click OK two more times to get back to the main install options window. This option is not in Visual Studio Professional so those users can ignore it.
Uncheck Microsoft Visual InterDev 6. This will stop the javasign. You can, of course, enable or disable other options in this window depending on personal preference.
Continue with the install and you should be able to reach the end with no major errors after a reboot. After the install is complete, Visual Basic 6 should start.
If you get an error on the New Project screen, an optional step to help is running VB6 in compatibility mode. I have installed it just now. It works. Win 10 x64 20H2. I have VB6 running! Have you tried this: docs. Those need to copied over to your normal login hive to be seen in the addins menu. Easiest way is to export in regedit while logged in as admin and then import while normal user.
Tinus, use FreeWheel by Jim Barry. Install it normally, not as an add-in of vb6. I have version 2. Should work for you, too. Very useful. God bless you. Good good good!!! This worked really well for me and I tried other things before. I suppose, the different results from following this guidance depends on the individual windows version. I stopped mine at due to the not understandable difference in behaviour when installing an old photoshop program 6.
With the version this braught me to a running VB6 on W Thanks a lot! Does anyone know how to stop Windows Updates from crashing my VB6 apps?
Phil Please post your question with more details on stackoverflow! Java trick worked, but none of the other tricks. Had to run setup as administrator to get it to complete. Does not work for me. After updating the system prompt it throughs an error and the message display visual basic 6. Followed instructions and have successfully installed VB6 on both a desktop and laptop computers without a hitch. Many thanks for your work. Thnx a lot : Tried to install with VS6installer, but can not complete the installation.
STF with yours I finished the installations. Works well for me with Win 10 Ver. Thanks a lot for carefull and complete description — at one point the VB6 only installation differs from the presented VisualStudio6 — but no issue VisualStudio Analyser not present with VB6. If anyone has succeeded, it would be interesting to know how they did it and the solutions to whatever problems occurred during the install. Run the installer as Administrator, wait for the Win10 stability warning then select the run anyway.
I had not then had occasion to work on legacy VB6 programs until recently. When I tried to load a prior project I received an error message. After struggling to respond to the error message without success I eventually tried to uninstall VB6 and again use this method to reinstall. I am running WIN10 version 20H2 and the reinstall was a success. I am now again able to edit legacy VB6 programs.
Worked perfectly. Dug lots of site, wish I found this article before. Thanks for this wonderful article, the issue is not fixed. Much appreciated. I had tried several times to VB6 installed and found some hints here and there but never got past the installer hangs. I have a customer who occasionally calls me to fix an ancient VB6 app that I wrote for them in — too cheap to pay for a.
This did the trick. The only thing I had to do in addition was to change some file permissions in the project folders and to recompile the VB6. Thanks again. This is very useful to under stands the problems which occurred across the installation of vb. Thanks my bro. Hello Hal, thanks so much for this. It is the only article I was able to following and get a successful install. You rock! Now for a dumb question to anyone that might know…… Do I still need to run service pack 6 after this install?
Or even better install in on a Hyper-V VM? This is awesome. For those who are complaining and moaning. Get a life. If the Earth is flat, do us a favour and jump off. There is nothing better than getting old software to work. I do not like these new programming languages. It takes the fun and romance out of it. But… what if you need ADO or another data method? A program without data access is not useful. Have you suggested installing Access runtime? Plenty of other comments here are happy and appreciate the article and accept the drawbacks.
No-one should realistically expect a 22 year old piece of complicated software to run perfectly in Windows I tested this installation and my database program transacting with mssql works perfectly … so what are you talking about.??? VB6 is useful for making front ends. The problem is that ADO is proprietary and no longer used except in legacy Microsoft specific applications. Thank you so much. This is very helpful file and process is very well defined for installation.
Thanks Again. I have several old projects that written in VB6, so I was really wanting to still have access to them. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 — 64 bit, and also very recently had to re-format my hard drive.
I have paralell latest version of this product in. Net but dont want to scrap my loyal financial ERP developed in year I do run it on window 10 but this article gives instructions how get it trouble free. I have loaded VB6 with no difficulties. Runs, compiles and compiled programs run without problems. Any Advice? After a few months of studying the issue and trying different things, I decided to install a XP Pro virtual machine using VMWare, but I suspect the free Oracle version will work as well, just not enough support.
It works well. Did everything as instructed and VB6 installed but will not run because I do not have appropriate permissions.
Set all permissions to full but still not running. What do I need to do? I had just upgraded Windows over the years from 98 so never needed to reinstall VB6.
Thank you so much, this was really helpful. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not even know how I ended up here, however I thought this submit was good. It gives me error message saying the. I can make an exe file but not the package.
Can you help me? I wanted to take the time to say, thank you very much for this great article. I am able to open VB6 on server R2. Great post! We are linking to this particularly great content on our website. Keep up the good writing. Hi there, I desire to subscribe for this website to obtain most up-to-date updates, thus where can i do it please assist.
With these instructions, I was able to successfully install VB6 on a Windows Server 64 bit machine and debug code. I just have one question…. How the heck were able to pinpoint these items? Installed as suggested by you, but while opening no errors but to run simple vb program the Visual Basic IDE crashes. Closes by itself on pressuring run button.
Pls suggest me what to do. This worked for me too on bit Windows 10 Enterprise Version Seriously, awesome. This procedure allowed me to install VC6 SP6 on a Windows 7 Professional machine which then fixed several problems including: 1 cant open a file 2 cant add files to project. Thank you!!! Recommend you read entire link.
The Windows compatibility team has been looking at user telemetry and reacting to feedback from Windows Insiders to ensure that existing apps work well with Windows Windows 10 is designed to run Windows 8. In the near future, the compat team will go more in-depth on this topic on Blogging Windows. Microsoft describe VB6 as 'everyones's favorite'.
The OP asks if Microsoft will extend support of the VB6 Runtime to Windows 10 and all you can suggest is that the question should be asked in a non-Microsoft forum! Microsoft have announced their support policy for the VB6 programming language on Windows Visual Basic 6.
