I have spent years developing a VB6 application (early versions were written in QB4.5) and finally it is ready! I am using Advanced Installer and have installed it on another Win XP machine and it all works fine (with the odd tweak)
Now I have installed it on a Win 8 machine and it has fallen at the first post. It will load and show a simple form but not my more complex forms. I have scattered MsgBoxes everywhere but it does not even get to Form_Load
I would have expected a lot of posts on this kind of incompatibility or maybe I am missing something simple!
Anyway, general observations would be appreciated (apart from port it to net - this is a big application with some 80 modules and 1,000+ functions in VB6, C++ and ASM and I cannot wait another year)
All help much appreciated!
