Visual Basic Runtime (VBRun) 6.0 Vs 6.0sp5 -- Effect On End Users?
Hello all... I'm currently working on learning VB 6.0, and as I work toward writing several small programs for distribution on the Internet, something crossed my mind about the VB Runtimes...
As we know, any system that wants to run a VB program needs the appropriate VBRun installed.
I noticed on the Microsoft website that they not only have the original VBRun 6.0 available for download, but also VBRun 6.0 Service Pack 5, which includes all the updates made to the VBRun 6.0 files in the corresponding Service Pack 5 for Visual Studio.
My question is: If I'm developing on Visual Basic Service Pack 5, will VBRun 6.0 sp5 be required for my end users, or will the original VBRun 6.0 be entirely sufficient (albeit slightly more buggy due to lacking the service pack fixes)?
I guess this would really depend on whether the service packs were strictly stability improvements, or whether new functionality was added, on which programs compiled by the corresponding service pack of Visual Studio depend...
I have no problem telling my users "you must have VBRun 6.0 installed for this program to work", but I really don't want to tell people who already have VBRun 6.0 that they need to download a newer version because their service pack isn't a high enough revision. I'll sooner develop on VB 6.0 sans any service packs installed.
If anyone knows the answer to this, it would be much appreciated.

Installing Visual Basic For Non-admin Users
I have a lab full of machines that I need to make visual basic available on for users that do not have administrator rights. This causes a problem because the users are then unable to add components that they might want to use.
When a user attempts to add a component one of two things happens:
1) the user is given a permission denied message.
-or-
2) visual basic completely quits and disappears.
I need to solve this so that students, who really should not have admin. access to these machines, can go about doing their course work.
Does this problem sound at all familiar to people? Feel free to point me at a FAQ (I haven't found one yet) with the answer, if it exists.
Thanks.
Visual Basic Runtime Dll's
Hi all there,
You know a visual basic programs is small in size, but it doesn't work in computers that does not have Visual Basic installed because they don't have the Visual Basic Runtime Files and libraries.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Isn't there any kind of compiling that includes the VB Runtime Dll's?

Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Installation
I'm trying to install visual basic 6.0 runtime, but when I attempt to open the file it gives me this error: "Command line option syntax. Type Command /? for help.
I'm trying to install this to fix my nvcpl.dll and nvmctray.dll start up errors.
Visual Basic 6.0 SP 6.0 Runtime Error
Hi, I'm developing an application using visual basic 6.0 service pack 6, but I am receiving an error message, however looks like it is radom, I mean, sometimes it happens opening a form, next time closing the app. after that when I use a control inside the form, button, textbox, etc.
I can't trace the problem because when the error appears I receive a VB message: "Visual Basic has encountered a problem and needs to close. We sorry for the inconvenience...." with three buttons : Debug, Send error Report and Don't Send
I trying to catch the problem looking into the error report but I can't understand most of it:
the error report always contains the following text in its header:
AppName: vb6.exe AppVer: 6.0.97.82 ModName: winmm.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0000594d
Sometimes I ignore the message and everything works perfectly, no more error messages or problems. of course I move the error message window to an edge of the screen in order to continue working.
The error only appears at runtime. When I compile and make the exe file, I receive the same message with the same erratic behavior the only things that change is the error message header
AppName: worldtvrt.exe AppVer: 5.0.0.0 ModName: winmm.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0000594d
Last if it is useful these are the controls used by my program
toolbar2.ocx: a free toolbar downloaded from planet-source-code (it's working in other projects, not error messages so far)
vbskpro2.ocx A commercial skinner for visual basic 6.It works fine since our first software version, used in many projects without problems
asrecmms.ocx: Belongs to Active sound recorder a commercial activex control is the first time tha we use it
besides we use the following vB6 controls:
comdlg32.ocx
riched32.dll
richtx32.ocx
Someone can give me a hand?
I'm running out of ideas... and time to finish my work, Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
PD: Please forgive my poor English.

Visual Basic Runtime Files
Hello!
I'm making a prog to put on a CD.
I want this CD to work on as many computers as possible.
I'm using Visua Basic 5 which as you know works with Win 95 up with the runtimes installed.
Can I put the VB Runtime .dlls in the same folder as the program on the CD and then the computer does not have to have them installed?
Thanks!
Visual Basic Runtime Files
No, not another question about getting rid of the DLL's
I've been deploying my programs for a while now, always including the VB6 runtime files for users who don't have them installed, but I'm not happy about this.
I want users to be able to download the files directly from the Microsoft site, so I don't have to worry about version conflicts or anything...
Does anybody know where these files can be found? I need the Visual Basic 6 runtime files, the Windows Common Controls 6, the Winsock OCX and DAO 3.6...
Thanks,
Visual Basic Runtime Libraries
I have some internet chat programs that were written in visual
basic and will run on the school's NT machines but won't run
on my win95b box.
Will installing VB runtime libraries on the 95 box help? If
so, which version of the libraries works best with win95b
(essentially 98)?
I know next to nothing about VB other than it is a programming
language. What purpose(s) if any will the runtime libraries
serve on this older machine?
Thanks for any useful info.
Regular newserver is down for the moment.

Runtime And Designtime ActiveX Visual Basic 6 Question
Hello,
I have a question, can someone help me please?
What are the differences between a runtime and a designtime component?
Is runtime component only good for running with the .exe and not
during development environment using Visual Basic 6 (For example, an
error pops out saying License is not found - I am using 3rd party
components.)?
How can you tell if a component is Runtime or Designtime so one can
actually purchase a license for it?
Thanks for your help.

Frm Visual Effect On Exit VB5.0
Hi:
I have a procedure written in Visual Basic 4.0 that causes the window to
reduce in size and width until it is totally gone. It sort of "melts" to
the lower right and then is gone. The code is:
Sub ExitByClick
Dim I As Integer
Dim I As Long
I = Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
While Me.Height > 100
Me.Move Me.Left + I, Me.Top + I, Me.Width - (I * 5), Me.Height - (I *
5)
Wend
Unload Me
End Sub
It works fine in VB 4.0.
I put it in VB 5.0 and it is really messed up. The form has a label on it
that seems to melt and then the form unloads... looks kinda lousy. However,
if I put a lineunder the Me.Move statement (MsgBox "hi"), then it works
OK...except the message box pops up, I have to answer it and it pops again
and again and again until the form is gone. I watch the form behind the
message box and it is working correctly.
I've tried to "fool" it by putting a 'delay' in (a For Next Loop), but that
has no effect, but to slow the melting label down.
Does anyone know why this is happening in VB 5.0 and doesn't in 4.0 (the
language pertaining to the procedure is the same in both)? Is there a
"work around" that I might use?
Thanks for any assistance.

Visual Basic Items Removed From Visual Basic.NET
A while ago (maybe up to a year) I had found a web page (probably a Microsoft MVP's home age) that had a list of about 100 things that were removed from Visual Basic in the transition to Visual Basic.NET. As it is, I would like to look at that again, but I can't seem to find it on my computer. Does anyone remember this page and/or have a copy of the link or the file that was on it. It has particular things like Debug.Print is no longer valid and MsgBox function is not supported. I've look on Microsoft's website and found a great deal of information about implementation difference, but I can't seem to locate this particular piece. If anyone could help I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in Advnance

Runtime Error 70 For Limited Users
Hi guys,
I have been searching this error through the forums first but saw mixed solutions. I am getting customers complaining that when running my program it works perfect on admin privileged accounts, but the moment they switch to any limited account this run time error 70 pops up and the whole program closes down.
My source code is way to large to post and the problem is I havent been able to reproduce the problem here (dont know where in the code the problem lies). All i have is a couple of hints.
- I am writing to a small text file in the winsystem32lah folder
- Could it be related to saving registry settings in Hkey Current User, If i switch to Local Machine will that make a difference?
Any sort of help would be great, thanks.
How Do I Integrate The Vbrun Files Into My Exe?
Possibly a simple solution, or it could be impossible.
I made a program that requires OCX files from the vbrun60.exe package.
The problem I run into is the machine that will execute the program is a Windows2000 machine and won't let me install the vbrun60.exe package because I don't have administrative privileges.
Is there a way to integrate the ocx files into my .exe program? It's quite a simple program that's less then 1MB.
If not, is there a way to get the program to work on the Win2K machine without having administrative privileges?
Thanks for your input

Adding Custom Controls From Code (not VB, VBA Or VBRUN)
Because I am trying to create a control from another library, but it says it cannot be found:
Code:
Form1.Controls.Add("VB.Textbox", "Text1", Form1)
Works, but
Code:
Form1.Controls.Add("SHDocVw.WebBrowser", "Webbrowser1", Form1)
Does not and thats the exact name for the webbrowser in the SHDOCVW 'project'
Advice? (I am also using References instead of Components, so just putting the control on the screen isnt an option)

Visual Studio Installer - Shortcut For All Users
I understand how to create a shortcut for the person installing. I was trying to figure out how to put a shortcut in the All UsersStart MenuPrograms folder. I saw some dialog boxes on the net where the person can choose "Everyone" or "Just Me". I can't seem to find that using VSI 1.1.
How can I accomplish this? I really don't even want to give them the option for "Just Me". I want to put a shortcut for everyone.
