Is it possible to create Visual Basic 6.0 EXE File through command line
option or Batch File.

For one of my projects, when I use the VB Package and Deployment wizard to
create a setup program, after I specify the location for the setup program
and click Next, the program just displays an hourglass indefinitely and hangs
and completely hogs the CPU.

How do I detect whether or not a user has Microsoft Jet Database Engine v4.0
insalled on their system at runtime? On at least a Windows ME machine, the
presence of msjet40.dll does not tell anything. On that system (clean
install), that file exists, but MS Jet Database Engine v4.0 ...

I'm looking to program a trail version of a VB. NET distributed application.
i.e. like most trial versions of software we all have downloaded from the
internet that the end user can try for 10, 20, or 30 days before the program
requires you register or purchase the full version. ...

While I am at it, I thought I would ask the community what they thought of
different installer programs.  Personally I had problems with the PDW (I use
VB6 currently), trying to use the same installation file on both Win9x and
Win2K and up.  It didn't work well.

Is there any way to deploy a .net Windows application as a VB6 application? I
have an app that needs to be able to run on machines without .net 2.0
installed. I am writing the app in the new Beta2 of Visual Basic .net. thanks

I suspect I may have hit some physical limit of VB DLL's in Win9x.  I have a
8MB Visual Basic dll that works fine under W2K and XP but will not register
under 95 and 98.  I can actually build the DLL in Win98 without any errors,
but when I attempt to register it, it fails.

I have my project in VB 6 , I need to be able add a trial period to the
program. How can I do that by setting a date period so that when the time
expries, if the user changes the sysdate he/she will not be able to run the
program again.

I have developed a system for a client that has impressed some of his
clients so he would like to sell the package to others.
Can someone point me to some resources on how to protect the intellectual
property and licensing the package?

Can one use Greek symbols in Code Development for functions and procedures.  
Also, how about in Text windows?
