![]() ![]() There is NOTHING you can do about this - it's built into the heart of Windows and there is NO way around it. These "little" processes only get to play in "sandboxes" dotted around the Registry, one of which is the HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node. If you want to use VB (which I guess you do, since you're asking in a VB forum) then I'd suggest you're well and truly out of luck! (Sorry)īTW, the Wow6432Node "nonsense" is a 64-bit Windows "thing" wherein "little", 32-bit programs aren't allowed to see the whole Registry any more because it might contain "grown-up", 64-bit data types. C++ is about the only stable language in the Redmond portfolio IMHO, everything else from the last decade has just been about Fashion. If you code in C++, then Visual Studio 12 is probably the way to go. I've not found anything on The Web where anyone's got it to work ( if that doesn't get someone jumping up saying "I did!" then nothing will ). VS 6 on a 64-bit, Windows 8? I'd say you've got a Snowball's Chance in H***.įrom what I've read, Visual Studio 6 is not intended for installation on anything beyond Windows XP. ![]() I've tried changing the file sp698vbo.stf and sp698ent.stf all instances of: What is the impact on manually copying the dll's, ocx's, exe's, tlb's etc from the SP6 kit into their relevant folders? Is there an entry in an INI file somewhere that I can modify to look in this location or similar? Now I'm wondering if it's the Wow6432Node bit that is causing the SP6 install package to not find "Visual Studio 6.0" as SP6 came long before any of the Wow64 nonsense. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE> Wow6432Node>Microsoft>VisualStudio>6.0 Now, I'm running the Windows 8 OS, and all the Registry entries for VS 6.0 are in I've tried uninstalling all Visual Studio products, deleting everything VS related in the registry, rebooting, reinstalling VS6.0 then attempting to install VSSP6, but every time I get the same error. I've repeatedly tried installing VS6.0, rebooting, installing VSSP6. I had installed Visual Studio 12.0 Express, but when I started having problems I uninstalled that. I'm trying to install VS6.0 and VSSP6 on a new machine. "Because Setup did not detect any Visual Studio 6.0 products on your system, the service pack will not be installed." ![]()
