In that case my advice would be to click your VB Express download and drag it into the Recycle Bin. Mike
From: Earl Partridge on 5 Mar 2010 15:23 OK, I'm convinced, VB Express is not for me. Will VB 6 run/work with Windows 7? If so, any suggestions where I could find VB 6... and at what price? I have shopped around a bit but nothing really popped up that impressed me... Thanks.

It's no longer sold retail and hasn't been for quite a while. You will need to find a used copy from somewhere. It also available to those who have certain MSDN subscriptions.

Stay away from Learning or Academic Versions. Be careful of illegal copies. Price for valid version usually starts with a bid of around $250.00 and I've seen them go as high as $600 to $800. |
