Hello,
I have recently purchased and installed Visual Studio 6 Enterprise Edition on my Windows XP Home machine. Everything went fairly smoothly, until I tried launching Visual Basic 6. As soon as I double-click the shortcut I immediately get a "Visual Basic has encountered a problem and needs to close." error. What makes this situation even more frustrating is that all the other VS6 components (C++, FoxPro, etc) launch and work without a problem. The only thing that is giving me trouble is VB.
I have since both un-installed and re-installed and tried to repair the installation. Regrettably, whatever I seem to try leads to the same result - all components of VS6 run well except for VB6. If need be, I can post the entire error log that I receive.
Please advise, thank you.
Edit: When I click Debug, VC++ starts up and I see the following message:
"Unhandled exception in VB6.EXE: 0xC0000005: Access Violation."
I am, however, logged on as an Admin.
Edit 2: I have upgraded with VB SP6 to no avail.

Sorry, but these forums are for VB.NET or later versions of Visual Basic. For support with VB6 you may try looking at some of the links in this post at the top of this forum:
