#64 — vb5e in w7

Hallo NG!
Installed vb5E in w7. OK. W7 comes with msvbvm60.dll only. After  
installation of vb5e  msvbvm50.dll was in the same folder as msvbvm60.dll  
(C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.
Execution of one of my vb-programs gave error: wrong version of dll.  
Tried  to register the dll with regsvr32/i gave error: dll was loaded, but  
the install-entrypoint wasn't found.
It is the same dll I used for years on my XP-PC without problems. Any  
ideas? Thanks!
Vy 73! Helge

Haven't tried VB5 on Win7, but you said "one" of your applications. So
others ran fine?

It might be a case of another missing dependancy.

The Windows Loader will error on or report on the component it is
trying to load, when the problem is actually a dependent component
later on down the line.
eg,
ComponentA is dependent on ComponentB and ComponentB is dependent on
ComponentC.
ComponentC is the wrong version, missing, &etc.

When the Windows Loader attempts to load ComponentA the load will fail
because of an error from ComponentC - but the Loader will still report
it is unable to load ComponentA.

Run a Dependency Checker and check if all components listed are
available and the correct version.

Then it is most likely caused by the runtime itself not being the
correct version:
"PRB: "Wrong Version Of Run-Time DLL" When Starting Application"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/185992

A dependency checker belongs in every programmers toolbox. 'Dependency
Walker' came with the VB Enterprise Edition, but you might as well get
the latest version.
"Dependency Walker 2.2"

You might want to download the latest service packs, assuming they're 
still available.  Or, the SP3 updated runtime can be found here:

That is the kick. My vb5ee seems to run again properly with W7 now!

Well, there are still some 'Access denied's, when loading modules into the  
IDE.

Need more info, there.  Be sure to set it to run as administrator, for 
instance.  And that the files are accessible (can be opened in 
Notepad?) otherwise.

A small problem here, how to start vb5 as admin (I logged in as admin) by
using a link on my desktop? Is there a param for that, i.e. "vb5.exe  
/admin"?

Yes I can open all files in notepad. Is a way that lets me find/determine
the culprit file?

Right-click the desktop icon.
There will be an option to "Run As"
Also select options there will be further options to always "Run As".

If the VBIDE reports an error in loading modules. After it loads there
will be a .LOG file in the project folder listing the problem modules.

Well, found those files. Some classes are not loaded. I check that
with the IDE.

[I still use the old term "Run As", but it is now "Run as
administrator". The old "Run As" is now exclusive to 'run as another
user'.]

Do you know the internal name for the MS Rich Textbox Control?
I can click that in IDE/Project/Components, but then it immediately says
'Access denied'.

Not sure what you mean by "internal name".
The description you see in the Components Dialog should be
"Microsoft Rich Text Control 6.0 (SP4)"
C:\WINNT\system32\RICHTX32.OCX
<root may vary>

VB6 only needs Read and Execute permissions on the System32 folder.

As it is unlikely a control will be loaded with a Class module, I
assume this is another issue? Is this a PC you have complete control
over, or one in a Corporate environment (subject to the whims of an
Adminstrator)?

Don't know what version of the Rich Text Control came with VB5, or
whether the 6.0 version will work with a VB5 project.

Could this potentially be a license issue with the control?  Also, when 
you installed VB, did the install complete properly?  I ask because on 
VB6 on Win7 32bit, the install process will fail if one of the extra 
tools is selected for install.  I can't remember which one it is, 
something like OLE/COM object viewer or one of the other extra tools. 
What happens is that the installation doesn't finish completely, and 
although VB may run, other issues appear due to the install not 
finishing. The only fix is to not install that tool.  Sorry that I can't 
remember which one it is. Only then will the install really complete and 
have all the registry stuff and other things added that is necessary, 
such as license information.

Thanks for all the information. In the meantime I managed to run the  
programs
in question. The installation of vb5EE was without problems and really  
smooth.
BTW, I have w7/64. The problem was mainly with the components which after  
the
install were not selected in the IDE for the specific program(s). Als the
CommonDialog control (cmdlg32.ocx) was missing in the source.
Now I hope that all the other programs can be recompiled successfully also.

Thank you guys for all the infos and your suggestions.
Helge
