am trying to get VB6 loaded and running for my student son on windows 7 laptop. DA0350.dll failed to register error

Question

VB6 installer may be too old to run on a 64-bit version on Windows 7??

Tried forums which suggested to register this - but this also fails.

Is there a 64-bt version of VB^ - or one that behaves?

Answer 1

Hi sshears,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

This forum deals with the issue about interop and upgrade with VB6 and VB.Net. So I’m afraid that you topic about install the VB6 in Win7 is out of scope here. I will move this thread to off topic forum. You can find the correct forum with this article: where to post  your VB6 questions: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/6a0719fe-14af-47f7-9f51-a8ea2b9c8d6b

Sorry for any inconvenience and have a nice day.

But 64-bits Windows 7 (same with other x64 Windows versions) provides one WOW64 32-bit sub system that can run the 32-bit program. So it should support the VB6 32-bit installer. Please try to view this thread: http://www.vbmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/vb/33424/VB6-on-Windows-7-64-bit

Or you could try to use the VB6 program in XP Mode, please view this: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/
