porting over VB6 to QB64PE (and VB6 IDE that runs in browser & modern Windows )
#30

Times have changed. Twenty years ago, you would have had still to pay for VC code; for example.
I didn't expect them to support it - though it would be awesome if software actually still worked years after it was released, on a modern computer. And that's one of the reasons I like QB64/QB64PE - I don't have to worry as much about my code not working after a couple years.

Thanks I will look that up

You said it's working for you on Windows 10, which is why I tried installing it. How did you get yours to install? Can you say which components are missing? 

(Not a biggie if not, like I said it's working on my old laptop, I am only curious because you said yours works in Win 10...)
