I am not able to run Microsoft Visual Basic (VB6) in my system. I am continuously getting error messages - Unexpected Error, quitting.

enter image description here

(Visual Basic was not able to start up due to an invalid system configuration. Missing or not registered VB6TMPL.TLB)

enter image description here

(Unexpected error; quitting)

Also I am not able to install VB6 Setup.exe in my windows10 64 bit system. Always getting "Not Responding" screen.

enter image description here

I tried to install VB6 setup.exe multiple times, but it is always going to Not Responding screen and not getting installed.

    Did you turn off UAC and run Setup.exe with "Run As Administrator"? – Brian M Stafford May 04 '23 at 12:58

    Also, I believe the last time I did a VB6 install on W10 it hangs, but you just end task and it works. Been a while tho. – User51 May 04 '23 at 13:09

  • fwiw, this application is no longer supported by MS. They literally don't care if a random windows update breaks it. – Joel Coehoorn Jul 22 '23 at 16:17

If you got a error while running VB6.EXE, because it may be:

  • You haven't copy the [source directory]:\OS\SYSTEM files to %WINDIR%\System32.
  • You doesn't setup the registry settings.

I was tried VB6 without attempting for do both, and the result was it, with another error.

But, "Working Model Version", that mean it's running from CD without running setup.exe

You can install VB6 or Visual Studio 6 in Windows 10 without "Not Responding" screen: Install Visual Studio in Windows 7 or later

  • What do you mean that you can't run it directly from the VB98 folder? That's where it is always run from... – StayOnTarget Jul 11 '23 at 11:25
