First off i'm new to the forum so hello everyone!
Secondly,
I am currently running Windows For Workgroups 3.11 in a virtual machine. I took visual basic in school a few years ago and haven't really touched it for a while but wanted to design some apps for WFW.. So i found MB VB4 disk and was about to install it in my virtual machine and suddenly remembered that it came in both 16-bit and 32-bit versions. I remembered I once read that the 32-bit version could also be installed on Win3x if the Win3x was running WIN32s.. So I downloaded and installed WIN32s and tested the install with the supplied 32-bit Frecell app.. Everything appeared to be fine. I was like, "Awesome!" I then proceeded to run the 32-bit VB4 setup file from the run command and got the following message:
Setup Intialization Error
This Setup program is not intended to be used with your version of Windows.
Can anyone confirm for me that VB4 32-bit can be run in Windows 3x using WIN32s?
If yes, how?
If no, why not?
If no, would it be possible to do so using a DOS Extender Such as Pharlap's? I have heard of this but so far have no experience with the Phalap DOS extenders.
Sorry so long... Thanks In advance!
