Opening the VB 6.0

[lotus18]

Hi everyone, could anyone tell me why is it everytime I open the VB 6.0, a windows installer will be popped up and is preparing to install the visual studio .NET 2003? I already have visual studio .NET 2003.

Can anyone give me a clear explanation? Thanks.

When did you start having this problem?

When did you start having this problem?

I think when I was reinstalling my vb 6.0 due to missing of its .dll file something like that I don't remember the filename. Anyway, my vb 6.0 is working properly but it is annoying to see everytime the Windows Installer and I cancel and cancel it everytime.

Sounds like a DLL conflict between versions.

So, what should I do?

Hi Lotus18,

I got this from some forum, when I got the same problem earlier.

May this help you...

1. Download the lastest windows installer (Instmsi.exe) and place in a temp directory
such as c:\temp.

2. From a command prompt, run the installer with the /c switch
(ex: c:\temp\Instmsi.exe /c)

3. A dialog will be displayed asking for a destination to extract the files to.
Select your temp directory again (c:\temp)

4. In that temp directory, run the Instmsi.msi file.

5. Also in that temp directory, right-click on the Msi.inf file, and select 'Install'
from the context menu.

6. You should be prompted to reboot your computer. Installation is complete.

Take Care! ALL THE BEST!
