Trying to start VB

[Cataclysmic]

Hey, guys.

Well, I want to go ahead and get into VB.
(aspiring Game developer, need some sort of programming background to get started. xP)

Anyways, I know that I need Microsoft Visual Basic 6.

And, supposedly, I have Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition.
But, when I install it, I have a couple questions that come to mind...

1.)What should I choose to/not to install during the setup?
2.) I got a "Could not <something-something> Javasign.dll to the registry." Solution?

Thanks in advance.
(+Rep to the people who help me get started!)

I have just got VB6 but i think you should just install everything as you may find that you will use some fo the other features.

With the Javasign.dll to the registry error are you using Vista or XP?
When installing does it say install Microsoft VM? if so you need to install that
Also uninstalling your newest verison of java and installing VB6 afterwards could also help.

I'm running Vista.
As for the other questions...I can't remember.
Let me try to install it again.

Ye some people have had this problem. somtimes it requires a fresh install of Vista.. But before you do that try uninstalling the JAVA and installing the VB6 i think that should work if not i will keep looking for a solution. As i don't have vista i can't always find the problem

So, uninstall my Java, and reinstall VB6?

Also, I found this:
Visual Studio on Windows Vista FAQ


EDIT:
Wait...
Visual Basic 6, C++ 6, FoxPro 6, and InterDev 6 all are on my start menu.
And, VB6 opened when I opened it.

Should I still try to reinstall it?

Ye i would try that hopefully it should work

EDIT: I'm off to bed now so i may not be able to reply till morning

Just verifying one last time:
Uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0.
Uninstall Java (I have JRE 6 and Java 6 Update 2 installed. Uninstall both?)
Reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0?

EDIT:
Wait.
I believe I've found out what to do.

Imo just download vb.net 2008 or 2005. Learn to use threads instead of vb6's way of doing everything.

Use visual studio 2005

SOOOOO much better.

Although I never tested if it could communicate with web pages.

I've already got this working.

I believe I've tried '05.

But, yeah, I dunno' if it can or not.
