[RESOLVED] "Method or data member not found" error; highlighting ".LocalIP" while compiling the server.

[Gleech]

Ok I've recently switched over from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit. I'm running a virtual machine to run VB6 (Frustrating enough I can't get it to run on the actual system), and I've been picking up where I left off with a hobby project I've been working on.

Now I began compiling my server after making a small modification to it. I keep getting this strange error that stops me from compiling it:

> Compile Error:
>
> Method or data member not found

It highlights this in "ModGeneral":

> ' Get the listening socket ready to go
>
> frmServer.Socket(0).RemoteHost = frmServer.Socket(0).LocalIP

If you didn't catch that, it's highlighting the ".LocalIP". I'd like to note I've made NO modifications to this bit at ALL, and I even pulled up another Server's file and tried compiling and got the same error.

Now if this is the Virtual Machine's issue, can someone please inform me on a way to fix this? And if there's no solution to that, is there one in general to working on a Windows 7 64bit system? I've tried installing VB6 directly to it for about 2 - 3 hours now, and everything I've gone though has not worked, so unless someone can come up with a miracle I'm stuck with this virtual machine.

Thanks so much for the help in advance.

did you install the service pack 6 for vb6?

I just did and I'm getting the same results…

That's because Winsock isn't registered correctly, make sure you have the Library Files installed, SP6 AND then redownload the source. (Your socket has been replaced with a picturebox since it didn't recognize it).

By "Redownload the source", what do you mean by "Source"? Like the Eclipse Client and Server?

Thanks for the help by the way.

Download mswinsck.ocx and put in system32 and register it. Redownload source means redownload everything again the client and server zips.

Ok thanks for the help guys. I ended up getting VB6 to work on the actual Windows 7, but it was still giving me the error.

So what I did was I ran the library files, and the SP6 via Admin cmd, which allowed them to actually register and place the files (For some reason it wasn't before…). So I guess for anyone with this same problem that's what ya' gotta do.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: Now if I can just figure out how to lock the topic xP
