how to install VB98

sieucauthu

I have Visual Studio disk , after i installed it, eveything 's almost ok but when it 's near the end of installation (I think).These stuffs appeared : First alert box: ssapi.dll was unable to register itself in the system registry. Second alert box: The instruction at "0xffbadd11" referenced memory at "0xffbadd11". The memory could not be "read". Cick on OK to terminate the program. and when I click ok , then i can use Visual C++ , but when i try Visual Basic, this alert box appeared: unexpected erro; quitting Please explain me what happened and how to solve it. I need Visual Basic, i will learn it this semester.

Is VB98 VB6 ? If so, you're learning a dead language. You should try to find a course in VB.NET, or another language altogether. VB.NET is free, but you can't use it to do VB6. Are you running as an admin when doing this install ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Sounds like you are attempting to install on an unsupported/unpatched system or you are using an old version of VB. Which Visual Studio version are you attempting to install and on what system? ...Steve 1. quod erat demonstrandum 2. "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day.

This is Visual Studio 6.0, and I use Windows Xp Home Edition. This is the first time I use Visual Studio, can you explain me what difference between Visual Basic, Visual C++ and Visual Sudio. Sorry for stupiest question. -- modified at 1:56 Monday 24th April, 2006

Visual Studio is the "integrated development environment" that provides a consistent look and feel and automates the language compilers. Visual Basic and Visual C++ are programming languages. VS 6 on XP Home should work ok provided you don't use functions that are not supported on XP Home (e.g. some domain functions or IIS web development). What you do need is a fully up-to-date patched XP and careful that any prerequisites are installed on your machine. Also check that the CD you are using is a genuine one and not ripped from somewhere else. Like Christian said, VB 6.0 is no longer a good choice for development and if you can, use VB.NET instead (Visual Studio 2005 Express is free from Microsoft). ...Steve 1. quod erat demonstrandum 2.
