Attempting to install VB6 Dev into Windows 10 Anniversary. Downloaded VB6 from MSDN.

If I try to install, either from ISO or from extracted files the install fails when run both as admin and non-admin…

Error: Setup initialization error. There is insufficient memory to run setup. Try closing any open applications or restarting Windows.

Attempted:

  • Stack overflow search
  • Admin mode
  • Compat mode + win7
  • Compat mode + admin mode + win7
  • Compat mode + admin mode + win8
  • compat+admin+w7, acmesetup to compat+admin+win7

Install VB/VS 6.0 IDE on Windows 10 isn't simple. I've developed a free tool to help user for this.

See the my official web-site: Visual Studio 6 Installer wizard http://nuke.vbcorner.net/Articles/VB60/VisualStudio6Installer/tabid/93/language/en-US/Default.aspx

However, the VS6 Installer wizard latest version 4.8 is under developement and test, due to Microsoft changes the 'rules' at each build. The OS version under test is: Windows 10 Pro/Home 1703 (march 2017)
