Regarding getting OCX files registered (for development), I use a copy of the VBC6.exe program (zipped as VB6CLI.exe). The msdatsrc.tlb and "ADO and RDS" issues are self-explanatory. Regarding getting a good install, on the MSJAVA.DLL, I still use the approach of placing a zero-byte file in my c:\Windows folder. You'll leave a few traces around in the registry, but they won't hurt anything. Microsoft Visual Studio folder and be done with it. Regarding uninstalling, I'd just delete the. Some (or all) of the developer licenses for OCX files not getting registered correctly.Failing to un-check the "ADO and RDS" option during installation.And the solution here is just to register it with the RegTlib program. The msdatsrc.tlb (found in c:\Windows\System32 or c:\Windows\SysWOW64) not being correctly registered.The MSJAVA.DLL file in the c:\Windows folder, and you seem to know about this one.There are really only four hiccups I've seen that can foul up an installation: You want to get it installed correctly, right? I don't seem to have much trouble with VB6 IDE installations these days, but I have seen things go sideways a few times. I'm a bit confused as to why you wish to un-install that VB6 IDE installation. There are two critical items that must be taken or the installation will hang up at the end. SammiWhen you do get it uninstalled Review the document in this link: Ultimate goal is to reinstall VS6 (only the VB6 component) on that computer (along with MSDN and SP6), but can't do it with that older install on the system.Īny other information ya might need to advise? In order to uninstall VB6, run this command: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Setup\1033\Setup.exe"Ģ-How else might I get VB6 off that computer? I found this on the internet, and have NOT tried it, because it seems like it is what I am doing with the Setup.exe wizard: So, what I would like to do is UNINSTALL VB6 from that computer, but haven't a clue on how to do it (running the 'Install' program again to deselect (which I never get to) Visual Basic 6.0, ends with a message saying it was not installed.) However, the current 'bad' install I have been using for a couple of years still 'works'. So, I attempted (3x) to reinstall VB6 from 'scratch' from my original CD set. VB6 was never shown in the Control Panel listing of installed programs, so I was unable to select it and uninstall. And was hence never able to get SP6 installed on that computer either because of the 'failure' of a proper VB6 install (although VB6 'worked fine' for what I needed). However, on THAT computer, it never installed correctly (the old 'hanging when installing' issue).



I want to remove VB6 (or VS6.0, if ya will) from one of the other Win10 computers in my office. I just installed VB6 (from Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise CDs) on another Win10 computer.
