Start VB6 on Windows 7 32/64 bits

Problem


Could not open visual basic 6.0. I got the an error that the DAO350.DLL could not be found.



So following some suggestions may work for you......



Try to run VB6 as admin, right click on vb6.exe and choose Run As Administrator( If it's work for you then leave the rest points)
In the directory c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO, rename the Dao350.dll file as Dao350.old.
On the Visual Basic 6.0 CD, locate the Dao350.dll file, and then copy it to the directory c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO. (The Dao350.dll file is located in the \os\system folder on the Visual Basic 6.0 CD.)
To register this file, click Start, click Run, and then type or paste the following line:
Regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO\Dao350.dll"


(I've not tested this on Vista, but it should work for you there as well. Give it a try, and let me know how it works!)


For 32 bit DLLS in Windows 64 bit platforms:


(First of all download you dll file from here www.dlldump.com )


After downloading dll, put the dll file in system32 or syswow32 directory, and use appropriate regsvr32 to register it.



Copy whatever.dll to c:\windows\sysWOW64\
Open a CMD prompt(Open) AS ADMINISTRATOR (very important)
In the CMD window:


CD c:\windows\sysWOW64\
regsvr32 whatever.dll
You will then be executing the 32-bit regsvr (c:\windows\sysWOW64\regsvr.exe) on a 32 bit dll



Register dll files
