Cannot Install VB 6.0 Pro Edition On Windows 7 Home Premium
Apr 11, 2010
I cannot install Visual Basic 6.0 Pro Edition on my new computer which is on Windows 7 Home Edition. My old computer croaked, and I am trying to install it on my new computer with the disc that I have from installing on my old computer. The new computer is 64-bit Dell machine. The error message that I get is: "Microsoft has problems with this software on this Windows Edition". This is the essence of the message; may not be exact. I read about WOW as a work around, but how can I work around when I can't get it to install?

I hv installed VS2010 Ultimate on my Samsung notebook win 7 home premium 64 bit. But one thing was wrong, i couldn't get sql express installed, with some error that i forgot. I can't see SQL Express menu on my menu list though unable to launch it.
after searching the net, it says that i might need Windows Installer 5 (SDK) which is 2,5 GB to download. Is it true that I need that SDK to install sql express properly? or it is not possible to have sql express on home premium 64bit?

We have designed an application designed for storing contact information of students (college study project).The application installed perfectly on Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 3). We also installed all the requirements (including .net 4) on the XP machine. But when we tried to work with any form that is linked with data, it pops up an error saying something about invalid casting for system.oledb.data and system.string.What may be the problem? This application runs fine on Windows 7, also loads fine in Windows XP Home Edition SP3. BUT when we open a form that has database linkups the above error pops up. Is it in anyway related to the .net framework? Which is possible our biggest doubt!This is really getting frustrating, as my group has worked really hard on this project. But, our prof., says that the project should work on Windows XP, but he is also stumped, with the reasons.

I have a program originally compiled in VS2008 on a WindowsXP Pro box. The program uses Microsoft DAO 3.5 Object Library to access an Access database.
When I try and run the program on Windows XP (any version) it runs just fine. If I try and run in on Vista (any version) it doesn't work. When I try and run it on Windows 7 Pro, it runs fine. I really want it to run on Windows 7 Home Premium, but I get an interop error anytime I try and access the database.

I tried installing VB.NET 2008 express edition and I had to stop it because there was no network connection.Now it just gets frozen half way through the install everytime. Where are the registry values so I can delete them and install the program. So irritating.

As Vista, comctl32.ocx is not accepted by Windows 7, I tried your workaround typing "regsvr32 -u comctl32.ocx" in a dos window, but another error is generated, specifying that the file was not found. But I verified, comctl32.ocx is really present under this name in system32 folder.

I just downloaded the trial for this application and it doesn't seem to work. I went through the Quick Setup guide and it all looked great. Now when I place my cursor on a member of any type and press Ctrl+Shift+D it does nothing. I placed it on top, inside, etc... Nothing. If I press Ctrl+Shift+A (twice) on top of the member it tells me to place it "in the line of the form MyType myVariable;". I'm not quite sure what this means unless it's referring to C# but this project is VB.NET which it doesn't seem to recognize. Anyone else have this issue? I was hoping it would make things easier since I've read that it can document an entire document rather than having to member by member. Using VS 2010 Premium.

EDIT: I'm starting a bounty on this question. For the moment, I've moved on and am developing my application using VS2010 Pro Beta, but I'd really like it to be able to be built with express edition, since we are generally not a .net shop and even if one or two developers have VS PRO it will not be available to our entire team.
To be the accepted answer and claim the bounty, you must provide sample code and instructions that will allow a Windows Service to be installed and uninstalled using vb 2008 express edition. You don't necessarily need to start with my code (but the essentials of it are included below).

I have just purchased VS2008 SE to run on my PC with VS2005 SE. I have been developing a WM6 application using the VS2008 PE trial, the trial period has now ended, hence the purchase of VS2008 SE (full not upgrade). As a private user for hobby purposes I can not afford VS2008 PE. I am astonished to learn that in actual fact VS2008 SE is a step back from VS2005 SE in that the WM6 SDK's on not supported. I have read the below thread: url...I am also annoyed that on the WM6 SDK refresh download page it states clearly that VS2005 SE or higher must be used - hence the purchase of VS 2008 SE.As I have installed on my PC a full version of VS2005 SE and VS2008 SE, is there a way to develop WM6 devices with the tools I have or is VS2008 PE the only solution.

I am trying to install VB6 (actually, visual Studio 6) on Win7. In the very early steps of setup, I am stuck to "Need to install Microsoft Java Virtual Machine". If I uncheck the JVM box, I am not allowed to continue. If i check it, I am told that JVM is unsupported for Win7, the PC is rebooted (why?), and on restart i am to the same JVM required spot. I need to perform some maintenance on some old project, just too big to be ported to .NET (if the only thing I can do is to port them, I'd rather port to Delphy or C++ codegear: I am not so crazy to do the same mistake twice, and use the new M$ junk to replace the old M$ junk). I have payed good money for the licence of Visual Studio 6, for a PERPETUAL licence. I DEMAND M$ let me use it.

I have developed a Windows service. During the installation, I get the following warning/error:�Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Service Administrative tools or the NET start command.�
I am not trying to start it. I am only installing it (right-click from setup project). The StartType is set to Manual, and the Service Process Installer account is set to User. I do not get prompted for the service login credentials.I am using Visual Studio 2005, VB.Net running on Windows Server 2003 SP2.

I am planning to buy Visual studio 2008 professional for home use to help me learn .net and eventually to help me get ready for MCP certifications. My question is about MSDN. Visual Studio 2008 Professional with MSDN Professional is $1100 from Microsoft.com. Visual studio 2008 Professional and MSDN premium is $2500 from Microsoft.com. Given what I want to use it for, is there any reason to justify buying MSDN Premium and spending the extra money?

Since VB 2005 express does not really install properly in windows 7, here is how to get it to install and make it work right. It's very simple.
1. Right click on the VB 2005 express installer file and click "Properties" in the menu.
2. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
3. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
5. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
6. Run the installer.
Wait until VB 2005 express has installed to do these next steps.
7. Make a desktop icon for VB 2005 Express
8. Right click on the VB 2005 express icon and click "Properties" in the menu.
9. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
10. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
11. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
12. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
VB 2005 Express should now run on you Windows 7 machine! (Yipee) Notice that it is necessary to repeat the same process for the installer file as well as the actual VB program becuase they are two different files and need to run in compatibility mode.

I will be googling this but in case I don't find it easily, here is my question - how do you install a windows service that you've developed on your own PC to a server? Is there an option to produce the package (I thought it was an msi file) which you can run on the server?

I have a Windows 2003 server that we regularly RDP in to monitor some programs that we set up to run on the machine automatically.However, the server will automatically log me out after a few minutes of inactivity. Unfortunately the server admin (who has the admin rights to the server, which I don't) is reluctant to remove such restrictions "for security reasons".
Therefore, instead of me trying to fill up 10000 piece of paper getting a security exemption, I am just wondering if there is any tiny program that I can run on the server (either a script or some VB.NET code) that will trick the server into thinking I am constantly typing something even though I am not (For example, as if I am moving my mouse cursor once every 30 seconds or type any letter then erase it in notepad)?Note that since I do not have admin rights, any installation is certainly out of question, and the script, if any, can not require admin rights to run properly.

I have a Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition application that operates as a front end for iSeries V6r1. The application was developed on a windows 7 machine. Users load the application from a shared folder on a server. Currently, there are 2 Vista, 3 windows 7 and 4 XP users. All had no problem in loading application, all users except 3 of 4 XP users can run the application with no problems. However, 3 of the XP users receive the following error message when they perform any action that tries to connect to the iSeries:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
All 4 XP users are on same service pack
