HOW TO<br />

HOW TO: INSTALL, INVOKE, AND EXIT VISUAL BASIC<br />

A. Install the Working Model Edition of <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong><br />

1. Place the CD accompanying this book into your CD drive.<br />

2. Wait about five seconds. You will most likely hear a whirring sound from the<br />

CD drive <strong>and</strong> then a large window with the words “<strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0 Working<br />

Model” will appear. If so, go to Step 5.<br />

3. If nothing happens automatically after Step 1, double-click on My <strong>Computer</strong> in<br />

the Windows Desktop.<br />

4. A window showing the different disk drives will appear. Double-click on the<br />

icon containing a picture of a CD (along with a drive) <strong>and</strong> having the drive letter<br />

below the label. A large window with the words “<strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0 Working<br />

Model” will appear.<br />

5. The title bar of the large window says “Installation Wizard for <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0<br />

Working Model.” The installation wizard will guide you through the installation<br />

process. Click on Next to continue.<br />

6. An End User License Agreement will appear. After reading the agreement, click<br />

on the the circle to the left of the sentence “I accept the agreement.” <strong>and</strong> then<br />

click on Next.<br />

7. The next window to appear has spaces for an ID number, your name, <strong>and</strong> your<br />

company’s name. Ignore the ID number. Just type in your name <strong>and</strong>, optionally,<br />

a company name, <strong>and</strong> then click Next.<br />

8. <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0 requires that you have Internet Explorer 4.0 or later version on<br />

your computer. If a recent version is not present, the Installation Wizard will<br />

install it for you. If so, successive windows will guide you through the installation.<br />

At some point you will be required to restart your computer. We recommend<br />

doing the st<strong>and</strong>ard installation <strong>and</strong> using the recommended destination<br />

folder.<br />

9. You will next be guided through the installation of DCOM98, which is also<br />

needed to <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0. After installing DCOM98, the installation wizard<br />

will automatically restart your computer <strong>and</strong> then continue with the installation<br />

of VB6.0. Note: If another widow is covering the Installation Wizard window,<br />

then click on the Installation Wizard window. If you can’t find the Installation<br />

Wizard window, repeat Steps 1–5.<br />

You will now be guided through the installation of the Working Model Edition VB6.0. At the<br />

end of the installation, <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> will be invoked.<br />

10. The next window requests the name of the Common Install Folder. We recommend<br />

that you simply click on Next, which will accept the default folder <strong>and</strong><br />

copy some files into it.<br />

11. The next window to appear is the <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> 6.0 Working Model Setup. Click<br />

on Continue.<br />

12. The next screen shows your Product ID number. Enter your name <strong>and</strong> then click<br />

on OK.<br />
