Algorath Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Does EO absolutely require VB6 or will the current version (Visual Studio 2010) be all right to use.Some of you may roll your eyes at that question, but hold off a sec… sometimes newer versions of a scripting language change things to a fundamental point that the newer versions do not run applications made with the older version properly.Python is a good example I believe.So, I just need to know if I can use Studio 2010 or do I need to google VB6 and find a reseller that still has it?Thanks!!- V7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroEBrown Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Visual Studio 2010 Will not work with Visual Basic 6\. Your above assumption was entirely correct. The newer IDE's don't support the older language. (Go figure Micro$oft fail)Thanks,Aero/EBrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irhymer Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nope, its VB6 forever around here. But… there MIGHT be a Java version eventually (just a guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 VB6 is a completely different language than VB.NET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algorath Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 OK, thank you very much folks. That's what I thought.I found three options on amazon.com.If you have the time, please let me know which one I need exactly in order to do everything that can be done in EO; e.g.. no missing functions, library files, Classes, etc… unless I had ordered a more powerful edition of VB6. I would like to only order what I need though. If "Studio" is overkill and unecessary, than I don't want it. However, if it has functions that pertain to EO but are not present in the lower versions of VB6, then I willl get the Studio Version. (Wordy.... hope that made sense...)I currently run Windows 7, 64bit.The choices are as follows:> Microsoft Visual Basic Professional 6.0 with Plus Pack [Old Version]> Platform: Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / 95> [http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Basic-Professional-Version/dp/B00002S7HR/ref=sr_1_34?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-34](http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Basic-Professional-Version/dp/B00002S7HR/ref=sr_1_34?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-34)> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition> Platform: Windows XP> [http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-6-0-Enterprise/dp/B001RN0RAW/ref=sr_1_36?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-36](http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-6-0-Enterprise/dp/B001RN0RAW/ref=sr_1_36?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-36)> Microsoft Visual Studio 6 Enterprise> Platform: Windows NT 4> [http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-6-Enterprise/dp/B00002S7I0/ref=sr_1_35?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-35](http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-6-Enterprise/dp/B00002S7I0/ref=sr_1_35?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1295756967&sr=1-35)I know I have been bugging you guys a lot today. I really appreciate everyones patience. I am doing my best to make my enquiries at least thought out before I ask them. So, once again, thank you all very much for your time!- V7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irhymer Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Well the first and last one have OLD platforms. Even the middle one says XP, but I guess thats your best bet.EDIT: WOhhh, $755???

Rithy58 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Enterprise is your best bet. It's the one I use.My cousin gave me his copy because he doesn't use it anymore.Anyway, I PMed you.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redevenz Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 @Rithy58, Agreed. Virtual Basic Studio Enterprise Edition is the best to use for opening up and editing the scripts in the client's source. It's also the most common to be found for download on google.
