I know this is not directly a programming question but I use this to create programs so I hope the question qualifies.
I moved VB6 Enterprise to a new computer using PC Mover.
VB6 now runs as "Working Model Edition"
Does anyone know how to move the license or otherwise fix this?
Thank you.
Not to use PCMover, simply :
a) Unistall VB6 from old pc
b) Install VB6 into new pc

guys!
we are developing a formula editor.
we want to insert our formula in Word (the formula image is normally displayed in Word) and edit again, just like xlsx files.
when double clicking, we want to launch our editor program to edit the formula and then replace it in Word.
we have already done that on Windows, but under the macOS, we are confused because we do not know how to implement them.
can you please tell me if that possible? is there a similar function implementation of office word under macos?
any advice or suggestion is welcome!
No, it is not possible because OLE is based on the COM technology which exists on Windows only.
As a possible solution you may consider creating an Office web add-in which can be installed on all platforms from web browsers to Mac OS. See Develop Office Add-ins for more information.
You can post or vote for an existing feature request on Tech Community where they are considered when the Office dev team go through the planning process.
What is the future of Windows Script Host ?
Microsoft has announced, in may 2015, the end of VBscript and ActiveX in their new browser Windows Edge (and that's a good news for web standards, by the way). However, I can't find out recent information about the desktop part of the scripting world. I'd like to know if VBscript, wscript.exe, cscript.exe and mshta.exe will still be supported by the next Windows desktop versions. I'm worried because Windows Script Host reference is, days after days, more and more difficult to find in MSDN library.
I've a lot of vbscript and hta files to maintain (in a professional environment) and I need to anticipate if a migration will soon be required.
If you have any information about that, please share !
It is on sustained maintenance so no updates (unless a major security flaw is found).
Millions of businesses use so it is safe for admin purposes. Well over half of all programmers are basic programmers.
Yes, this question still stays relevant nowadays. I also can't find any official announcement from Microsoft. They ended up with IE and AHT support years ago, but WSH stays usable. So, the answer is: there's no official end date for it, but Microsoft stimulates programmers to choose Powershell over VBScript for new applications.
Having tons of professional VBScript code running and with Powershell's leaking for easy Windows deploying and maintenance in mind, my piece of advice for you is: stuck with VBScript until you can develop a custom flawless deploying architecture for Powershell. Then, start every new project with the last, but keep the support for the former until its app's end cycle comes.
Since the above-mentioned exe files are part of both the already released Windows 11 and Windows 12 in the test state, it can be rightly assumed that sooner or later Microsoft will further develop both VBScript and the closely related HTA. Last year I read in a Microsoft blog post about Windows that the company is already working on enabling VBScript to be able to use .NET classes directly, and on updating mshta.exe, that in Windows 12 the new version can be released.
Since I myself do VBScript-HTA developments, I was also concerned about how long the company would support this. But after reading this blog post, which unfortunately I can't find now, I am no longer concerned with switching to other systems.
The fact that Microsoft has further plans for the VBScript-HTA pair is perhaps also indicated by the fact that one of the example programs of the new Visual Studio, VS 2022, which has just been released, demonstrates how to integrate a new language into the VS environment through VBScript. And also trough it is demostrated how to develop a new project template.
I have a project to do (an app relied to a DB, used to display and modify data, basically CRUD). The application will run on windows, but I don't have any windows computer (and don't want to buy one) so I will develop on OS X.
So, my question is which language should I use ? I know a bit (but really a bit) in Ruby and Java. I'm a good C# developer, but without windows and VS, it won't be really useful.
My priorities are : a simple GUI toolkit, and a simple packaging/distribution system, because my client isn't good in IT. If I could have fun during development it would be a plus (and I say this because I think Ruby is funnier) but it's not a priority.
So, any programming language/UI toolkit simple to deploy and to use on OS X who could run on Windows ?
Thank you !
IT kind of depends on your app really. you could make it a web app if you want nice GUI and with easy html css and there is alot precoded for you. hosting on some web service with basic mysql or any other database shouldnt be an issue costs wise and your client can just open the browser and it runs, if he has internet connection available where he needs the app to work. anyway it runs everywhere and since yo know java... thats what i would.
depends on your app really.
Most people that need to do this just get a VM running Windows, and run Visual Studio from there.
What my problem is is that I have a project that is in full design mode swing right now. I built it using the Windows form..
Anyways, on one of my forms..that I already started building (very painstakingly)..
Minds have changed and now what needs to be on that form is either a full excel 2003 workbook..or at the very least..excel worksheet.
The problem is that I have not been using studio 2008 for long..and coding experience shows the same.
Can someone please tell me how the heck I can put a worksheet or a workbook on that form without starting my whole project over using office forms?
Please..go slow with this newbie because i really don't know anything and Jargon is confusing me even more :(

Is it possible to create a windows service in vb6? if yes, how?
I've never tried it, but Desaware offer a commercial package, the NT Service Toolkit that claims to allow you to host a VB6 DLL inside a Windows Service. Desaware was founded (and I think is still owned by) VB6 guru Dan Appleman, which is a good recommendation.
Microsoft created a control to allow you to create services in VB6.

Yes, it works, is it the best way to create a service, no, but if VB6 is a requirement (you have a bunch of code you have to re-use), then I can state from experience that it works. We have the original control from the January 1997 MSDN, however you can easily find it on the net if need be ( http://www.google.ca/search?q=ntsvc.ocx+download )
Like gouging your own eyes out with a spoon, it is technically possible but I wouldn't recommend it.
Yes, you can. Just follow the directions in this tutorial:

To answer your question, yes it is possible to create a Windows service with VB6. To offer you advice, there are much better tools to use. I did it once as a proof of concept project, but never liked it well enough to try to use it for anything that we used in the company. A co-worker did do this for a production app and it was error prone. After he left we found out just how hard he was working to keep his service running and ended up replacing his app without reviewing his code. So my advice is, if you want to do it as an exercise go ahead, but if you are looking at this for a workable solution you should consider other tools. Here is a link to one way to do it.
