    Aloha,

    II hhahavhavee received a copy of Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Portable. I noticed that the program has the UAC shield on it. What is going to happen that will change anything to the computer; if nothing, just what will it do?

    Please note:

    It is running on Windows 7.

    Nothing in terms of Visual Studio has been installed other than VBA for Microsoft Office 2010.

    Any help?

    Hi,

     If you have a question about VB6 you should ask it on a forum that still supports VB6. This forum is for VB.Net.   :)

    You know Visual Basic 6 came out in 1998. Its mainstream support ended in 2005 and extended support in 2008 according to Wikipedia. Who did you the favor of providing you with this antique?

    If you want to learn Visual Basic then download a version of Visual Studio 2013 express which is free, uses current Visual Basic, etc.

    Please BEWARE that I have NO EXPERIENCE and NO EXPERTISE and probably onset of DEMENTIA which may affect my answers! Also, I've been told by an expert, that when you post an image it clutters up the thread and mysteriously, over time, the link to the image will somehow become "unstable" or something to that effect. :) I can only surmise that is due to Global Warming of the threads.

    I do not recall, however, I want to be able to bring Visual Basic with me on a flash drive, and I found this to be the solution. I am just curious as to what launching the program will do when you click it that would cause the User Account Control to ask if I want to allow the program to make changes to my computer.

    It should work very well, are you sure you have a good version of portable Visual Basic 6.0 ?

    You should not have problems even so. I think the problem is in your Windows settings. Just disable the UAC ! :)


    PS: the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE will also work on Windows 9 and up.

    You can download this portable version of Visual Basic 6.0 from here:
