vb6 under xp

[Gerhard Lowe]

Hi veryone,
after a long spell of no programming I tried to install vb 6 under xp pro.
It didn't work. Are there any work arounds?
Thanks
Gerhard

I've installed VB6 a number of times on different XP machines, with no
problem. But make sure you have administrator rights.

You're a programmer but the best diagnostic information you could come up
with was "it didn't work" ?

What would be your next question if your users said to you "I tried your
program but it doesn't work".

Same here. I've got VB6 w/SP5 on this XP box.

Can you be more specific? What work around are you looking for? No license
key, no cd, no drive space ?
