There's still a dependency on the vb6 runtime, so the target machine will need that installing.
That error decodes to "The operating system cannot run %1. " but it's not clear to me what is running at install time if you've extracted all the registration data. You may need to look at a verbose log to see, because if registration is just writing registry entries you won't get that kind of error. MS has said they support this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vstudio/ms788708.aspx and if you are going to share this it should be a merge module, and in fact I don't know why you're not just using the merge modules that are in VB6 somewhere. --------------- Phil Wilson On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 7:57 AM, sandyGSS <sandhya....@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes our app is built in vb6 and we are trying to install the msi in windows > 8.
