Creating applications...
Can you write and compile VB6 applications with Visual Studio 2012? Else, what do you use? New to VB.
Thanks

Re: Creating applications...
No you can not.
to write and compile VB6 applications you need VB6 i.e. Visual Basic 6.0 [sold as a stand alone product and/also included with Visual Studio 6.0] which was released by MS in 1998. There are still a few copies floating around but getting harder to find now.
Visual Studio 2012 lets you write and compile VB2012 apps

Re: Creating applications...
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and tried to install it. It contains VB6. But, when I try to install it, it says incompatible program. I have WIN 8. Any ideas?

Re: Creating applications...
I have not tried VS6 under Win8 I did try it under Win7 and had install issues so I moved to the stand alone VB6 install which worked. Under Win8 I was able to install VB6 using the VB6 Enterprise Edition CD but it was a bit tricky to do.
Here is a thread I started on the subject a while back

Here is a link to a user created installer that claims to work
