Vista/VB6
Ok, I have been reading up on some of the threads on vista and vb6 and I plan on reading more after I finish posting this thread. However, I thought I would get some specific help here and try to cover my bases.
I have been working on a game using vb6 for 4 or so years. I was making it on my XP machine. However, I stopped working on it a few months ago to start a new business. Now that the new business is all set I have free time and I'm going back to my game.
So, I want to import the game to my Vista Premium laptop. And before I do that I need to know what I should do and what precautions I should take. I want to do it right and what to expect.
Oh, I have the VB6 professional edition on cd.
What I want to know is:
1) What is the best way to install and avoid problems?
2) How viable is it to import my old program? My program is very large but I use a lot of novice programming techniques. Not a lot of api's, not 3D, and simple animations. Also, it is multiplayer and I use winsock. Any issues with this and vista?
3) Any difficulties now having a commercial game when making a game with VB6 and people having Vista machines?
That's about it. I really want to continue making my game and hope to be able to develop it into a multiplayer client/server game. I just want to know if current technology changes may make this difficult. Thanks.
