I have Visual Basic 6 Pro, Service Pack 4 on an old, spare PC loaded with Windows XP Pro which I have happily worked with for many years. I haven’t used VB on it since February 2016 & recently wanted to update some of my archive schematic drawings but I now find that although I can still open the files, the software is in view only mode meaning I can no longer change or save the files.
It keeps asking me to load visio.msi from my installation media but neither my CD version of VB6 or service pack 4 has this file. I know MS no longer support XP but did they change something on one of the last XP updates they did that would cause this? If so why & is there a way around it? Would re-installing the XP Pro, software I have without the later MS updates before they stopped support restore the status-quo; anyone advise what’s going on?
