Visual Basic 6.0 IDE does not support mouse wheel-scroll, but you can get it to workīy following the instructions given by Microsoft at this link, be sure to follow the Try this at your own risk as I mentioned above, Visual C++ 6.0 is not supported on Vista in fact, I don’t think it is supported at all. The apps seem to work OK too – so far so good, though I’m resigned to having to use Run as administrator. Setup now completed without error so too did SP6.
This time I went into the Tools part of custom setup, clicked Change Option, and deselected the OLE/COM object viewer. The error message actually makes sense: the products were not installed. Although the product was mostly installed, some part of the Microsoft Installer database had not been updated. The problem was that the first install never completed. Then I tried removing Visual Studio 6.0 for a reinstall, but got the same error from add/remove programs. I Googled to no avail, though I found this thread where several others report the same problem. Error message to log function that detects what VS products are installed in what language unable to function. If I logged the install, I found this entertaining error:ĭo not ship. I could run SETUPSP6.EXE, but the install always failed. This is where I had the biggest problems. Naturally I wanted to apply the service pack – SP5 or SP6. I was informed that setup had failed, but nevertheless VB 6 and VC++ were installed and seemed to run OK. Access is deniedįollowed by a DLLREgisterServer failure. RegCreateKey failed for \Interface\OLEViewerIViewerCLSID. So setup completed, but with an error towards the end: My tip is to run task manager and see if the ACMSETUP process is taking up CPU time.
I believe this is just a matter of patience. I deselected applications other then Visual C++ and Visual Basic. Then setup appeared to hang on the screen where it detects installation components, and Vista popped up its “Program not responding” dialog. First there were compatibility warnings, which I ignored. Fortunately I still have some old MSDN DVDs, so I dug these out and ran setup for the Enterprise edition of Visual Studio 6.0, installing on Vista Professional. This is the stated reason why Visual Studio 6.0 is no longer available for download, even for MSDN Universal subscribers. One reason is that it includes the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine which Microsoft promised Sun it would withdraw. Visual Basic 6.0 is supported on Vista, but Visual Studio 6 is not. Second, because Visual C++ 6.0 is still widely used to avoid issues with the C runtime library. There is little point in installing the other products in Visual Studio 6.0. First, because it includes Visual Basic 6.0, the last version not based on. Why would you want to run Visual Studio 6 on Vista? Two reasons.
