PRB: Visual Basic 3.0 Setup Wizard Does Not Work on Windows 95

 Last reviewed: November 15, 1995
Article ID: Q129892
The information in this article applies to:
  • Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Setup Wizard that ships with Visual Basic version 3.0 is run on Windows 95, it gives this message: 

   This Program may not work correctly with Windows. For more information
   click Help.

WORKAROUND

As the Help file suggests, the best solution is to use the Setup Wizard on a 16-bit operating system such as Windows version 3.1.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The Setup Wizard will copy Dynamic Link Library (.DLL) files contained in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory, to the floppies containing your setup program. Some of these DLL files may be 32-bit, but have the same name as their 16-bit counterparts. One example of such a file is VER.DLL. If after setup, an attempt is made to use a 32-bit DLL on a 16-bit operating system by a setup program, it could cause a serious system error.
