VB4 IDE: "Unexpected Error, quitting"

#1 09-07-2008, 02:50 AM

Hi y'all,

I had a windows 95 OSR2 computer that had VB4 on it,
and it ran fine; but when I try to run VB4 under
windows 98, I get that cryptic error message.

I found a microsoft supposed fix online that told me
to replace several dll's like olepro32, msvcrt40,
and mfc40. But their article wasn't exactly about
VB4 itself having the error; they were talking about
VB4 applications crashing with the installer.

But anyway, I went and retrieved the old dlls from
my old computer, and put them in the VB4 folder.
Still no luck.

And I can't find any articles that are about VB4
itself, only related apps.

Has anyone here tried to run VB4 on windows 98?
or XP, for that matter?

Never tried it.... but I would think (IMHO), that
it might be easier to upgrade to VB6. Contact
me off-list if you need a source for it.
