I recently discovered that the old VB3 could be installed under Vista Home Edition (i.e a 32 bits code) and be run quite well.
Everything appears to be correct (adding new code, running the application under development) except the functionnality to produce an EXE code !
This attempt is always ended with a general protection fault in module KRNL386EXE and NTVDM.EXE stopping to work.
I know that everyone will be strongly in favour of giving me the advice to move to something more modern than VB3, but I have my reasons (briefly, I am developing for years -- since 1995 ! -- a bridge program distributed for free on the web. Sabrina, my program, is recognized by Wikipedia as an interesting approach of artificial intelligence applied to bridge. But it's too late to think of upgrading the source code into another language. It would be some 7 Mo of code to check and convert !
Of course, at home, I have no problem when making use of a desktop under XP. Upgrading my EXE code is easy. But when I am travelling, it will be more and more difficult to maintain a laptop under another O.S than Vista. So I moved to Vista ! And encountered my problem !
What I want to know is as follows:
- Should I be in the obligation to abandon my wish of producing EXE's with VB3 under Vista ?
- or does somebody could suggest a solution ?
Thank you for your attention
