Richard Mueller [MVP #2 / 5	Secret to Installing VB6 in Vista I was able to install VB6 on Vista by right clicking the install program and selecting "Run as administrator". Otherwise the setup program cannot register components, like OCX's, in the registry. -- Richard Mueller MVP Directory Services Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net -- Quote: > I've spent three hours trying to install VB6 in Vista.

Ed. #4 / 5	Secret to Installing VB6 in Vista Hello there Jim, Yes this is what I do. Open the VB (and it then gives a warning to which you allow) then, open the project.
