Board index » Visual Studio » Can VB6 be run in Windows XP on computer?

Visual Studio191
We just installed a new hard drive and upgraded to Windows

XP .

Everything on the old drive was left there. I just need to

know if I need to re-install VB6 and Studio on the new hard

drive or can I use VB6 from the old drive? Also, are there

any compatibility problems with running Windows XP and VB6?



Thank you in advance for your help.

If you mirrored the drives then it will run as is. If you installed XP on

the new drive then you'll need to install any program that you want to run.



VB6.0 and VC++ 6.0 runs fine on XP.

Thank you so much. No, the drives are not mirrored, so I'll re-install. Once again, thank you.

You need to reinstall, in order to set up the registry entries correctly.

You can have it reinstall over the old copy so there is only one on the

system, if you want.
