Windows 10 DataProject issue

[Andrzejek]

I used to use DataProject in Windows 7 all the time. Now, a new computer with Windows 10 and when I try to start a new DataProject, I get an error.

It points me to DataEnv.log file, but this file is not created. At least not in the location stated in the error message. I did find this log file in completely other place: [tt]
Line 2: Class {C0E45035-5775-11D0-B388-00A0C9055D8E} of control DataEnvironment1 was not a loaded control class.
Line 0: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Template\Projects\DataEnv.Dsr could not be loaded.[/tt]

Any idea what I need to do to be able to create DataProject in VB6 on Windows 10 machine?

This is why I run VB6 in a virtual machine with an older version of Windows. While built VB apps miraculously still work in Win10, the VB IDE and other addins can be too flaky.

I would love to have my VB6 on a VM with Win7, but it is not up to me, unfortunately. Corporate rules, licensing, etc.
Running VB6 on a borrow time for 17 years since 2004, I guess, when Microsoft abandoned VB6 is OK.

I turned my old laptop into a VM as I was worried about the hardware failing. It worked great. That might help with the red tape you're facing.

I Goggled the CLID in your message and found a few hits but it looks like some investigation will be required.

Good luck!
