0 UNCcrombie Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 well .net framework is like the vb7 runtimes if on not mistaken plus a little bit more? therefore install vb6 first then .net so that the .net overwrites the vb6 runtimes wit hversion 7. That could be whats giving you your error. I'm running both and did it that way, let me know how things go. I'll be home later on if you need help (probably 6:00pm est) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 UNCcrombie Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Thanks mate that worked a treat, i've still not re-installed .net framework yet, Will the framework effect VB6? That I do not know about. As far as I would imagine it shouldn't because then why distribute the framework for customers that don't have the money to upgrade to vb.net or visual studio.net? It shouldn't effect it, but I haven't used vb in ages...good luck, you shouldn't have any problems! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
