vb.net will not install - help - help - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

RLang

I had installed vb.net 2003 on my xp sp2 computer and it seemed to work ok.
At some point it began to create
executables that would not run. No errors, but start the program's exe and
nothing happens.

I decided to uninstall VB.net which eventually worked. Then I tried to
reinstall which locks up 2/3 through the GENERATING INSTALL SCRIPT progress
bar. Microsoft is no help on this. Does anyone have a clue as to what is
going on and how to fix?

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has
dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic
..NET related questions...

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb.upgrade
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb.controls
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields"
from the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above
ones should get you started.

Komodo - Will it Lock Me In?

Hi Everybody, If I were to use Komodo to write in Python, would it add a lot of goo to my code such that I would not be able to switch to another IDE without having to claw my way out of a tarpit first?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
