Alex Balfou #1 / 8	VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit Has anyone successfully installed VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit? When I try to do it using the Visual Studio 6 CDs, the installer wants to install the Microsoft VM for Java and I'm unable to proceed any further. AlexB

When I try to do it using the Visual Studio 6 CDs, the installer wants to install the Microsoft VM for Java and I'm unable to proceed any further. Microsoft's version of the Java VM is obsolete and I don't know whether it would run under Windows 7 64-bit WoW. You could try Sun's latest version but I can't say that it would work in its place. You might want to try installing and running it in Windows VPC. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

Rick Rothstei #3 / 8	VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit The following is the procedure for XP and Vista, but I am guessing it will work on Windows 7 also. Create a file named MSJAVA.DLL (it can be 0 bytes long, the important thing is to create a file with this name) and put it in your Windows directory. Now install VB6 and you shouldn't be bothered by the message. Once you have finished installing VB6, just delete that file and all should be well. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) Quote: > Has anyone successfully installed VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit?

Bill McCarth #5 / 8	VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit Make sure you do delete the msjava.dll file before windows update prompts you to update it. http://msmvps.com/blogs/bill/archive/2004/07/14/10069.aspx Quote: >> The following is the procedure for XP and Vista, but I am guessing it >> will >> work on Windows 7 also.

Erm, I faked MS Java so it wouldn't prompt me to install it again :) I think I created msjava.dll and a couple of others, but process monitor should tell you what it is looking for. I then excluded the rest of visual studio as that does not work on Vista+. The VB6 component is fine (for me at least) -- i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems
