Emosyos Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey,I recently got rid of my only Pc which ran Windows XP. This Pc is what I used for Visual Basic 6 programming / editing. I have spent 3 full days trying to make VB6 run on either one of my Windows 7 Pcs, neither do. I have tried Virtual Machines to no avail and also every update after VB6 to see if any were compatible with EO3… nope. So I am writing this desperately; hoping that someone has some kind of knowledge on this matter. If you are reading this and know of any alternatives or substitutes for VB6 that are compatible with either EO2.3 or EO3, I would very much appreciate it.Kindest RegardsThe Pug Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm afraid that VB6 is the only thing that will do. There was a tutorial on getting VB6 to work on Windows 7 though… I'll look for it, and get back to you if I find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emosyos Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Oh wow it just went on to a MSDN menu and it is now asking me to locate the disk… "The specified location is invalid. Please choose another." Dang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If your problem is solved, _please try to remember to let us know somehow_. Mark the topic as solved, or make a post at least.Edit: Just realized you posted this in the Tutorial section. You might have set it to resolved, but because it was in the tutorial section, it didn't display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emosyos Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Apologies, I had to leave home for a while and had forgot to mark it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
