Re: VB6 and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

I recently installed VB6 on a new PC with no problems at all apart from 
the known "Data access" caveat.

If you are using the original CD's, when you get to the part that lets 
you choose what features you want installed make sure you DO NOT check 
the "Data access components", or the installation will hang.

(You do not need these installed as they are now a part on Windows anyway)
