I don't know how to title my post, but here is my dilemma.
I created new software that works for MS-DOS in order to make an old game alive again through today's networks.
I want to make an installer software with any version of Visual Basic 6 and under and have it work with Windows 10.
My Computer is 32-bit and runs Linux. I currently run Windows programs through Wine (Windows emulation program for linux).
This is what I tried so far:
If I try to install Visual Basic 4 32-bit, I get some setup error (Same one someone else reported on this page: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...rsion&iId=2413 )
I then tried Visual Basic 5. The install was ok, but when I went on to type some special character combinations (alpha-numeric) in the code window, the whole Visual Basic 5 crashes.
Now get a load of this:
Visual Basic 3 works nicely with WINE, but the problem is if I make an EXE with it and try it on a windows 10 computer, it won't work as-is because the EXE is a 16-bit and I don't want to have to make users download extra utilities for windows 10 just to run my visual basic setup program.
I want to make my setup program in VB but this compatibility bit is throwing my progress off and I don't want to have to find a full-blown copy of Windows just to make a setup program in VB.
So what am I to do here?
