helpdesk98 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) After Some thought I have decided to opt out of this project. Windows 98 is not the best candidate for .NET programing if you are interested in an auto updates program look at this topic for auto patcher: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=80800thanks helpdesk98 Edited April 28, 2009 by helpdesk98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marxo Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I hate to break it to you but programming in .NET Framework 2 for Windows 98 is a bad idea. I'll pass for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpdesk98 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I tried my program on a 98 it worked, but I found that the way it receives the updates from me dose not correctly work in most cases and the alternate to getting the updates is to install a package of txt files so now my plan is to get on ebay and buy Visual Basic 6. I still want to make the program, but I think it will be more stable if I use VB6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thydreamwalker Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Would it be Possible to use "Inf"/"zip"for Win98SE update packages downloaded from a Hosted Website ;And put into a monthly/bi-monthly updated download package like Autopatcher2000,and xp already does.*MSFN Win98SE programmers put updates on one forum area for updates only then the updates are packaged as a download-either separately or combined ???(kinda like Mdgx does?) oh well its a thought for helping new users find all necessary downloads easier!

awergh Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 using VB6 sounds like a good idea because everyone should have vb6 runtimes installed unlike .net 2 which is disliked by many people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpdesk98 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 thanks for the inputI did notice the some of the programs mentioned above shortly after making the post, but I did learn things through this process I learned a few new tricks in 08. I got my VB 6 Ordered and it should be to me the beginning of next week hopefully it wont be too hard to go from VB 08 to VB 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialbao1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Is microsoft still selling vb6 Besides, you can use mingw with visual mingw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 somehow i think it would be a bit of a jump from VB to C++.microsoft doesnt sell VB6 anymore, hasnt been discontinuded for long though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialbao1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I believe Visual Basic 6 is the most used programming software for ordinary programmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpdesk98 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 you can still get it on ebay i did some research and it looks like there is a load of resources on the web I can use to learn VB6 instead of VB2005/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
