Visual Basic 6.0 Installer, via Inno Setup

By | 2019-11-21

This script converts the conventional Visual Basic 6.0 installer into new and compact setup using Inno Setup. Installing Visual Basic 6.0 on later version of Windows is getting harder due to its outdated installation method especially on Windows 10 where NTVDM is need to enable in order to run VB6 setup. This installation is solved by porting VB6 installation from MS ACME Setup to Inno Setup.

Benefits of Porting

  • Easy and less hassle installation (No reboot needed).
  • Smart installation. The installer can detect what components are need to install.
  • Can install on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, WINE, and ReactOS with least or no problems.
  • Application Virtualization and Desktop App Converter ready.
