That does indeed confirm the SP6 controls, and they all work perfectly in my old applications that were built with that. Also in new projects. The mystery is just why in Help/About it doesn't show that SP6 is installed (and neither does the splash screen at start up). It's no big issue, but...

Thanks klima - that worked fine. I found vshelp.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS98, and it registered successfully. Help now available in VB6, and the F1 key appears to work too. ALl I need to do now if find out why the 'About' doesn't show SP2 installed, even...

I have successfully(?) installed VB6 on my new Win11 machine, with SP6. Two issues though: 1) Although all the SP6 components are there and working, the splash screen doesn't show SP6, and neither does 'About'. 2) I have installed the MSDN help files, but VB6 doesn't seem to link to them. Any...

strongm So long since I used the forum that I forgot about the 'Great Post' flag - now done, and thanks for drawing my attention to it. ---- Stephen

That's brilliant - very many thanks.

I'm struggling to create workable code to do what appears to be a simple task! I have a directory A, containing several hundred sub-directories, each one of which contains many individual files. I want to move ALL the individual files into a single new directory. Any help appreciated.

The error is "#5 Mailbox unavailable. Server requires authentication." But I think I am doing this with the line: MySmtp.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential(<MySMTPServerLogin>, <MySMTPServerPassword>)

I am trying unsuccessfully to use the SmtpClient to send an email. The following code generates an error and fails. Any ideas? Dim email As New Net.Mail.MailMessage(<Sender>, <Recipient>) email.Subject = "My Subject" email.Body = "My Body Text" Dim MySmtp As New...

But what if you need the DA components? !

I too have now upgraded a Win7 machine (with VB6 SP6 already installed) to Win8, and VB6/SDP6 installed just fine on the Win8 PC this time. Thanks anyway radarm for your info regarding experiences on a 64-bit setup. When I was trying a few weeks ago to install on a new 64-bit Win 8 PC, I...

Hi JAG14. I would be very interested to hear how you get on with VB6 + SP6 on your W8x32 !

Yes Montoro - that's the whole problem I believe. The VB6 installation does not fully complete, so it's not listed in the Add/Remove programs. And for this reason the SP6 will not install (or have you managed to do it?)

Yes - I'm trying to find a win8 32-bit to test it on, but can't find one yet. Hope someone beats me to it and does the donkey work!!

It's not the consumer preview, but a commercially released version of Windows 8 Pro, as supplied to a large company for whom I do support work.

Well, after 10 days of unsuccessfully attempting to put VB6 with SP6 on a WIn8 64-bit machine I have finally admitted defeat. The best I could achieve was a bodged basic VB6 installation, which whilst it worked was not correctly registered in the system, so SP6 just refused to co-operate...

So what has happened between Win7 & Win8 (64 bit). I can do a perfect install on Win7 and it's only Win8 causing headaches.

Thanks for so much info dilettante! As you summarise, I too think that the problem lies in the fact that the install does not complete cleanly. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by running both parts of the setup elevated. I am installing from a VB6 only CD (not Visual Studio), and as I recall...

For the time being I am running VB6 + VBSP6 on an XP virtual machine on Win8 64-bit. Not ideal, but a workaround for the time being.

Thanks dilettante, but I don't think that the 64-bit issue is the entire answer. I have successfully installed VB6 & VB6SP6 on Windows 7 64-bit without any difficulty at all - an absolutely clean install. However, in Windows 8 64-bit, the VB6 installation was tricky, and at the end of the...

OK..I have installed VB6 on Windows8 64-bit, and with a bit of tweaking on the compatibility options it runs fine. However, SP6 refuses to install - it seemingly goes through the process, but then reports that it has NOT correctly installed. Has anyone managed this yet?
