installing VB6 after .net

[aholden]

I need to do some VB6 development for a client now but I've been working in the VB.NET framework. Can VB6 and .NET coexist? Am I going to run into problems?

According to Microsoft you can have both on the same computer. I have and have not had any problems...yet (knocking on wood...).

Here is the link to their VS .Net faq page.

I've been told you should install VB6 first. Don't forget to install the MSDN help files, as the VB6 help is missing in .NET (or at least is so difficult to use I haven't been able to find it).

This was from the VS.NET beta, so maybe the RTM (release to manufacturing) version is better, but I'd still do it VB6 first, then VS.NET.

As a matter of fact, I had VB 6 installed before I installed VB .Net. But that was just because I had VB 6 first. I would have to agree with chiph.

Thanks and Good Luck!
