I am brand new to Visual Basic and just installed Visual Basic Professional
v6.0 and have 1 question and 1 problem:
Question: Since Visual Studio came with my VB6.0, should I install it? I am
under the impression it is merely a
"launch" utility to get to various Visual packages and not really needed in
order to learn VB.
Problem: Ever since I have installed VB6.0, everytime I launch the program,
I get the Microsoft Installer popping
up telling me:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable."
It is looking for an installation package called SHERMAN.MSI . In the
research I have done on this thus far, I
was led to believe it was a Dell program that came with their Dimension
8250's, but after finally getting to a Dell
Software technician that did take time with me to help me try to figure it
out, he found somewhere in his resources
that this is apparently a Microsoft VB5 program?
What concerns me more than the annoying having to his 'Cancel' to get into
VB6, is the fact that it's being called
by VB6 somehow so I am worried that something is either not correct on my
machine, or I am missing something
that I most likely should have and VB6 is attempting to install it.
Does anyone have any answers/suggestions that might help with this?
Thanks in advance. 1 3437
Visual Studio has a library and help file which I find useful with my VB6. I suggest you un-install
VB6, install visual studio, then re-install VB6. That may resolve your problem.
