on that note, if we knew what files and reg entries were used for 16 bit and all the vb and other stuff that would go away we could probably make a package, install and register all that ourselves as long as they worked that is.
I wander if ms would release the stuff to users that are out of date.
You are right though the devs have to change with it hard that it is the users, hmmm.
we shouldn't have to put up with shorcoming if we could help it.

Hi Thomas,
I don't want to judge anyone.
But there is a difference here.
Fine if MS wants to remove VB 6 support. It is a developer's job to do something about a programs compatibility.
But what should someone do as an end user?
It is not my fault if a program screams about missing DLLs...
OK, I can download the VB 6 runtime if I need to run a VB 6 file.
But isn't part of current DirectX end user license specifically forbidding you to manually install DX7VB.DLL or DX8VB.DLL into your current operating systems and/or their DirectX (DX 10 or DX 11)?
