Using A VB6 Exe With MSComm1 In Vista/Win7?
Jun 12, 2011
I used VB6 to create an EXE file that uses MSComm1.The program runs OK in my XP computer and also in my Win7 computer (that has VBE installed).It would not run on my Vista laptop. I installed the VB runtime files (even though Microsoft says they are not compatible with Vista/Win7) but with no success.However, when I installed VBE on the laptop, it now runs the EXE quite happily.Does installing VBE also install a different set of runtime files?Is it posible to distribute my program to my friends who have Vista or Win 7, without them having to first install VBE?

how to get my vb6 exe to run in any win7 or Vista?The error I'm getting is: Component comdlg32.ocx or one of it's components is not correctly registered or missing. I've tried using the P&D Wizard to specifiy loading it into the SysWOW64 folder but I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. I use the P&D Wizard then load everything into Inno for delivery but my customers who now have Win7 or Vista can't use my product.

I have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.

I have an app developed in VB that works fine on Vista machines but fails on Win7. The offending line of code merely references a variable stored in a module. Evidentally, something is quite different on Win7. How to I find and fix this behavior?
The code is very straightforward. The error occurs in the Application Startup event.
Public Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) _
Handles Me.Startup

I am facing an interesting problem: I compile an exe file on my computer with XP pack3. And then I gave it to several people. One people told me my application works well on her vista machine but cannot run on her XP machine. Another person told me my application does not work on her Win7.

We have code in our former VB6 application, that ported fine to VB.NET, that plays a simple AVI file of the typical "flying folders" and "spinning maginfying glass" AVI. Under Windows XP, our application ran fine and everything was good.
Then we had customers start using Vista and Win7 and this stuff crashes. We were using the MS Common Controls (SP4) and then (SP6) - utilizing the Animation player. Now - these dont work and we get nasty errors.
I searched Microsoft and the web to answer the "what now?" question and though there are numerous suggestions, none of them work. We cant use Media Player because we dont want any menu - just the graphic. We dont know why, with the cool tools given in .NET, there is no animation player (seems a huge oversight...) But we need to get "unstuck" on this one, and we need that fast...
So, How does on play a simple AVI file using VB.NET code? What DLL or OCX does Microsoft recommend and is there a place we can find some sample code for it?

I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.

Depending on what component is handling the print for you, some of them are not 64 bit ready (i.e. 32 bit only). To use them you must compile your application as 32 bit only. It will then run on the WOW platform that Win7 supplies.
You change this option on the PropertiesCompile screen. Press Advanced Compile Options and review Target CPU:

I mean not like windows xp which the number and signs are not in the same textbox, but like windows 7 which you can see the whole calculation before pressing equal, and i don't think that compute.datatable can do this because it's limited with the basic signs(+,-,/,*) and it doesn't include the other signs(like : sin,^,root,log), so how to make a calculator like windows 7 one?

I am making a windows service that will communicate with a local application through named pipes, and with a server through WCF webservice. So the application hosts the WCF service for the local application, and is a client for the webservices. When trying to run this as a service, the whole thing crashes. I have localized the problem to the "Session 0 Isolation" issue?
�If two-way interaction is required, use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), .NET remoting, named pipes, or any other interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism (excluding window messages) to communicate across sessions. WCF and Remoting have a better security enforcement that will prompt the user (assuming UAC not shut-off) to elevate if needed. But I am not sure what they meen. As far as I know, i cannot create a windows service as WCF.

I have a vb.net program that is using a voice modem. Well, there is a someweird issues with the modem. (I am trying to work with them but they are kinda slow). Anyway, they only way I can resolve the issues with the modem is resarting the machine. I want to automate this. If I have problems with the modem, I want to reboot the machine and back into windows 7. How can I go about doing this? I am really concern about the login back into windows7. I want to keep the login screen up, but I want to bypass it if my program was the one to restart the machine.

I have looked through more old threads than I can count and I just cannot get any of the suggestions to work. I did a little poking around MSDN as well. I am trying to use the registry to enable AutoLogon on a Win7 machine through code. I can read the current value with no problem but I am running into security problems when I attempt to change AutoLogon to "1". This is what I have done so far.
