VB6 + Vista = NOWAI OMG

[slashrulez]

Okay, ever since I installed an illegitimate copy of Vista Ultimate on my computer, I can't install VB6. I was able to fine on XP SP2, but it just won't install on Vista. The copy of Vista I have has disabled Windows Update, so don't tell me to do that <_< It technically has an update function, but after the computer restarts, it keeps restarting for 10 minutes and then reverts to the pre-update version.

So pretty much, does anyone know how to make VB6 install on Vista without updating it?

The error is:

The instruction at 0x004087f1 referenced memory at 0x00000546. The memory could not be read.

I've had this problem for months, but I just noticed the Visual Basic forum here, so I thought I'd post it :O

after so many problems with vista (especially with delphi and ce), i decided to go back to xp, but it wasnt that simple cus i dont have an xp cd

so i downloaded 1 C:

i dual booted vista with xp, cuz once more and more programs are compatible with it, it might be a good os, but for now, it stays shit
