Title: Find Visual Basic 6
Post by: Havoc on December 13, 2003, 09:48 PM
I know this has probably been asked over and over but I need to download Visual Basic. I searched for it and the wolfness link doesnt work. I tried Kazaa but it hates me and it wont download. Where can i find it? I reformated my HD and i didnt save VB6 because i thought i would be able to get it back but i guess not. I really want to start coding again.

I believe Microsoft does have a CE (Controlled Edition) on their website, and the only thing I noticed you can't do with it is make .exe's.

Ya I just downloaded it but its no fun. You cant use the Rich Textbox. No point of using it since i cant make exe's and you cant use some of the controls.

If you go to a university you may find a lot of reduced priced software. I got Windows XP Pro for $7 (including s/h) and VS.NET 2003 Pro for $15. The reason it's so cheap is because Microsoft wants the school to purchase more of their products if more students are used to their software.

They sell VS.NET 2003 Professional and Windows XP Professional for $10 here.  That's fairly common for colleges.  Microsoft does this because they're smart and can afford to offer stuff for low prices, in return for getting lots of the current generation of college students (read: future consumers/programmers/etc) familiar with their products.

Check with your University about this (http://msdn01.e-academy.com/) website!  I was just going through my back email from the school which I usually don't read, and found out I have a username and password on http://msdn01.e-academy.com/colorado_cs/ -- they offer all the latest microsoft products for downloading for free.  Visual Studio 6, .NET 2002, .NET 2003, Windows Server 2003...you name it.

Generally you need to be a student there for the Microsoft agreements to apply.

I get software from my university for free.  You just have to sign a document saying you won't distrubute/ms has the right to get a list of people who have use it/etc.

ya, you can check out just about any software from the library on campus. Can also buy or download it for really cheap, but you need a school id almost anywhere you go so its kind of stupid asking that, either way Havoc, if you want to get it then ask that don't imply warez right away (which is most definitly the worst way to get software, even if it is the cheapest you often get what you pay for :P )
Title: Re:Find Visual Basic 6
Post by: Havoc on December 20, 2003, 11:41 AM
Well i was and i wasnt implying warez. If warez are the only why i can obtain then i guess i would have to go that route. I would rather own my own copy so i know that i wont get in trouble. I have seen them online for like $27. I cant get it through my high school because they dont do that and they dont even offer programming as a course. There is a community college in my town. They have a bookstore that sells software but i need an id and 3 credits. My best bet will be to purchase it online.
