#2459 — VB6 and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Hello all
Has anyone any experience of installing VB6 onto Windows 10 Pro 64-bit ?
I have done some research on the web and find that
a. It will install with no problems
b. It will not install at all
c. It will install but only a custom install, no Data Acces or ActiveX components.
d. The usual msjava.dll problem, easily solved
e. Install and run as Administrator
f. Not necessary to use Administrator mode.

I have also come across mention of a tool vb6installler from nuke.vbcorner.net which by all account allows vb6
installation. Has anyone tried it ?

I have writen a number of programs to help with my wifes crafting projects. All written with VB6 using ADO to get data
from an Access 2003 database.

I was considering changing data detqils to an INI file, but there are quite a few programs, and they work fine under
Access and ADO.

Can anyone advise ?
TIA

I've been using it without problems here under W10 Pro 64-bit since I built this
machine at the end of 2019. Can't remember what I had to do to install it, but
apart from creating a zero-length msjava.dll file I don't think I had to do
anything else to get it to install or update to SP6.
I'm still using DAO and Jet to create and access database files but ADO works fine
too with them. - Never worked out how to access later Access databases.
I do run it as Administrator from a desktop shortcut, but am not sure if that's
really necessary, but I don't use it that much nowadays so haven't really bothered
to investigate.

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)
