    First of all, I'm not the coder.  I'm just the sys admin who needs to upgrade the 2003 server due to EOL support from MS.  Will VB6 with SP6 run after doing an inplace upgrade from Server 2003 to 2008 all 32bit.  Also this is in a VM environment too.  All I did was do the upgrade, and apply all the latest patches from WU for 2008.

    I'm getting an error:

    my first error was with the Just in Time Debugging tool, I found some forums that mentioned deleting two registry keys, I did that and I think that part worked, however i'm now getting the next error.

    Faulting application VB6.exe version 6.0.97.82, time stamp XXXXXXXX, faulting module ntdll.dll version 6.0.6002.18881

    one of my questions is, is it possible to do an inplace upgrade of 2003 to 2008 and still have your VB work correctly?

    Thanks,

    VB6 is antique, it is of topic in this forum, we are now at VB11.

    However, you can look at this official Microsoft link which describes everything about your message.

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/ms788708.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    In fact there is written. Try it, no guarantee but probably it does.

    Success

    Hi WHENDRIX,

    Welcome to MSDN.
    I am afraid that as Renee Culver said, these forums donot support VB6, you could refer to this thread:
    Where to post your VB 6 questions
    You could consider posting this issue in these forums below:
    These forums do not support Visual Basic 6, however there are many third-party support sites that do. If you have a VB6-related question please visit these popular forums:
