Packaging / Installation Issues - VB6 & Win2000 - ??

Does anyone know if there are problems associated with installing a VB6 on a
Win 2000 Pro platform?

The Package I have was created using the standard packaging feature of VB6
on a Win ME platform.

I have tested the installation on Win 95, 98, ME(home) and XP (home) with no
problem found.

I have had a report from somebody that they cannot install my program on
their Win 2000 Pro platform, I do not have this platform in order to check
their claim.

Your advice would be most welcome.

Regards

Martin

I also had this problem with one of my applications. It turned out the user
had not applied any service packs to his Win2000 installation. When he
brought his system up to date with the latest service pack, my VB
application installed correctly.

Hello! I am using Crystal Reports 9 (under Win2000 with SP3/SP4 - no difference) and try to create some reports from vb6.

When debugging my visual basic sources (SetPrivateData) everything is fine and all the integers are filled with the proper values. (I am using ttx...

Hi everyone, I have created an App that embedds the python interpreter and I am now in the process of creating an installer. I am currently linking python24.lib, but it is only 184k and I suspect that it imports other dlls... I am also using numarray. Does anyone have any experiences in packaging python with an application in a single installer ? Has that been done before ?

This one seems bizarre! We have a database consisting of a main table and 12 - 15 "sub" tables, which are connected via cascading relationships. The database performs many complex calculations and displays the results in both forms and reports. In the process of developing the database we "entered" 12 sample clients. Before packaging the database we remove the sample clients by deleting them from the main table, which cascades the...

I've been through this kind of thing a few times in the past and received excellent advice here on clpy about how to deal with specific technical aspects (e.g. how to use setuptools, InnoSetup, etc). I'm now wondering where this type of thing is best addressed in more general terms. What I usually see happening, in projects I've worked on and in others, is that developers get the code working on their own computers, using source control...

I am looking for an application that will wrap my .Net application (and any needed .Net parts) into a single exe.

But, I'd like something that is actually affordable for a hobbyist programmer. This capability (Thinstall's being able to wrap a .Net app and ship it as a single exe) would be a FANTASTIC...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
