  • Installing and running Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 On Windows 7/Windows 8 [x32-x64 : 32bit-64bit] with all features!

    Installing and running Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 On Windows 7/Windows 8 [x32-x64 : 32bit-64bit] with all features!

    Hello Friends,recently i had to do some college Project in Microsoft Visual basic 6.0 + Oracle SQL Connectivity, but the hell Microsoft Visual Studio wasn’t simply installing on my Lappy, so after a few hit and misses at the goal, i have found the Foolproof Method for installing Microsoft Visual Studio on your Windows 7 and Windows 8,Windows 8.1 installations that too on both the 32 bit and x64:64-bit releases of Windows 7 and Windows 8 There are a lot many reasons which are responsible for installation of Visual Studio/visual basic 6, prominent of which are

    • Compatibility Issues
    • Microsoft Java Machine issues
    • Installer/Setup run-time issues
    • and some problems which ares pecific like unable to use visual Basic components such as ADODC,OLEDB,ADODB,RDO Connection problems etc

    Lets solve each of them one by one in Detail.. 🙂 but before that , there are some prerequisites which we must implement so as our setup will be much smoother… Prerequisites

    • During visual studio 6 Installation, it may ask you to install Microsoft Virtual Machine For Java,etc..and it may restart your computer continuously..so as a fix, simply Download the Following Ms-Java.bat file,and simply right click on it,and “Run it as administrator”,it will ask you for a confirmation,please select yes,it will open a box,and close that’s it!
    • Now,The visual Basic 6 Setup wont prompt you to install virtual machine for Java,thus removing a hurdle!
    • Click here to Download Ms-Java.bat  file for bypassing Microsoft Virtual Machine For Java..
    • Now lets look at the Setup! The link to torrent file of vb6 setup if you do not have it is here..>

    The First Problem which we encounter during setup is compatibility issues

    • This Problem can be solved by running the setup.exe of the visual basic 6 setup,by right click and selecting “Run as Administrator”  option..
    • it may show a dialog box like this — > fortunately,this Problem will Be Solved by simply clicking the Run Program and the Setup Started.. 🙂 , as you are running the setup,its possible that setup might become too very slow on places such as “searching for installed components” , “finishing installation” etc..dont worry its,totally normal! just wait for the setup interface to come up 🙂
    • Now you may simply Enter Serial Number,and Follow Next,Next Method of Installation and install Microsoft Visual Basic/Miscroft Visual Studio on your computer..BUT!!  if you follow this Method your Installation of Visual Studio will work,but on 64-bit (x-64) OS,Windows 7 64 bit,Windows  64-bit when you try to use Visual Basic components such as Data Grid,Active X controls,ADODC Connections,ADODB Connections for VB-SQL Connectivity it will give error..
    • The errors vary to a wide range depending upon the components selected and will be something as — ” failure to initialize provider,error 420,error 482,as well as the printer errors ” blah blah blah
    • So, in order to Make Visual Basic- Oracle SQL Connectivity we must do the following steps..
    • Please Make sure while installation/setup your Visual Basic installation directory is” C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 6\common\” or  “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 6\” and NOT“C:\Program Fiiles (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 6\common\” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 6\common\”

    Steps for Visual Basic – Oracle SQL Connectivity on Visual Basic 6 For 64 bit OS..!

    • The (x86) suffix at the end of Program files is responsible for the failure of various visual basic components such as data grid,ADODB,ADODC,OLEDB,Active-X,RDO,Printer Connectivity,windows common controls etc..

    you can check this figure–> if it isn’t you may change the installation directory by clicking “Change Folder” or “Change Directory” as shown in the figure –>

    • Thus,we can make it Function Properly By Installing it to Default Program Files Folder..And All the Data bound controls,standard controls,added components to VB such as ADODB,OLEDB,Data bound grid control etc properly,Windows Controls,MAPI Controls Properly..!

    Also if you already installed Visual Basic To Program Files (x86) just dont uninstall Please.. simply Perform the Following steps

    • Copy the Complete Microsoft Visual Studio Directory From c:\Program Files (x86)\ to C:\Program Files\
    • Now Go,to the Folder C:\Program Files\VB98\ andtry to run VB6.exe , it will give error as “Failed to register extension and blah blah”
    • Now simply run the “VB6.exe” from the non-x86 folder in “Run as Administrator” mode,. and voila!! Visual Basic Will Start Working,and all the Default Connectivity,Data Components which can be added from tools->components menu such as ADODB etc will start working!! thus , the VB-SQL Connectivity too will start Working!! 😉

    If you Encounter Sluggishness in IDE do the Following Steps 🙂

    1. Using Windows Explorer, browse the location where you installed VB6. By default, the path is:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98
    2. Right click the VB6.exe program file, and select properties from the context menu.
    3. Click on compatibility tab
    4. Check the following check boxes: For Windows 7:
      • Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
      • Disable Visual Themes
      • Disable Desktop Composition
      • Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

      For Windows 8

      • Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
      • Reduced Color Mode (16-Bit Color)
      • Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
    5. After saving open up VB6, It should work normally

    That’s all! a quite-lengthy tutorial indeed! 🙂 But Totally Working! if any Doubts/Problems Just drop a Comment below 🙂 thanks!

  • How to Port your Mobile number from one State/Circle to other | Change mobile number circle & Avoid/No Roaming Charges 🙂

    Yes !!  You heard it right 🙂 Telecom / Mobile Subscribers or mobile users in India can get cancellation of their intra-circle roaming charges or avoid them totally ! as per the NTP [ National Telecom Policy] To be adopted by TRAI by 13 th May 2012 

    According to the NTP, a subscriber would be able to change his operator and at the same time retain his number, even if he moves to another state/circle. Thus the Mobile Number Will be Same but
    its Base/Home Circle Will be Ported resulting in cut off of roaming .

    Here’s how you can port your existing mobile number from one state/circle to another –

    1. To begin with, you need to generate UPC (Unique Porting Code) by sending SMS to 1900. UPC is an alphanumeric code allocated, upon request, by a mobile operator to its subscriber for the purpose of facilitation of porting of his/her mobile number to another operator.

      • SMS to be sent : PORT <your Mobile Number> to 1900. Operator SMS charges will be applicable.
      • Eg. SMS PORT 98XXXXXXXX to 1900

    2. After sending SMS to 1900, you will receive UPC (Unique Porting Code) as a SMS from 1901 giving 8 digit alpha-numeric Unique Porting Code (UPC) and UPC expiry date in MM/DD/YYYY format

    3. Visit your nearest Simcard outlet / showroom and submit a new card if you’re switching operator .

    4. Now , Fill up Mobile Number Porting (MNP) form providing details like

      • Current Mobile Number
      • Current Operator name
      • UPC code

    5. Submit Address & Id proof documents, self-attested photo and last bill copy of postpaid connection (if applicable) along-with filled MNP form and Customer Agreement Form.

    6. That’s it!

    Considering the Large success of MNP, Till the end of March, close to 42  million subscribers had opted for MNP, according to TRAI .. its quite a big step.. because now a subscriber can not only change his mobile operator/ but also his circle to avoid the roaming Charges

    Last Time MNP infused a tariff war / race to pull up each others subscribers into own Operating services.. NTP implemented MCP [Mobile Circle Portability] Or MNCP [Mobile Number Circle Portability] will surely ignite a new war between operators , I Hope this results not only in Lowering of tariff Rates , but Increase in the Quality Of Service Provided such as Network, Congestion Free Nature etc .. Let’s keep our Fingers Crossed Upon it 🙂
