Using:
XP Pro Spanish Version
VB 2005 Express V8.0.50727.42
VB6 projects made with VB6 Enterprise Edition (SP6) Spanish Version.
It sounds to me like the VB Upgrade tool did not get installed correctly. I would suggest going to Add/Remove Programs in the control pannel and doing a repair on VB Express.
Hi John,
Thank for your answer but that doesn't work.I also tried a clean install on another machine and I got the same error.
Hi Cristian,
That is strange that a repair or a clean install did not fix the problem.
I would suggest trying to register VBUpgrade.Engine.DLL manually. You can do this from a command prompt by using the following command:
regasm C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VB\VBUpgrade\VBUpgrade.Engine.DLL
That should solve the problem if it doesn't please let me know
Hi.
I have the same problem.
I tried all I can, but vbu.exe always do the same.
I have the spanish version of XP SP2 too... I think is this OS version.
I'm thinking the same too. I've tried on 4 PCs and none of them work. Even with a clean install, SO, SP2 & VB, nothing else.
Please let me know if you find a way.
XP Pro SP2 Spanish Version
VB 2005 Express V8.0.50727.42 English Version
VB6 Enterprise Edition (SP6) Spanish Version
Anything else you need to know please feel free to ask.
If you need that I try another version of VB please let me know.
Hi Cristian,
I have not been able to reproduce the problem here so I asked Artinsoft who developed the Visual Basic Upgrade Enginge to help invesitgate the problem.
They have told me that there are two files that if they missing or not registered would cause this problem.
The two files are VBUpgrade.Engine.DLL and Microsoft.VisualBasic.UpgradeExtensions.DLL both of these files are in the ..\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VB\VBUpgrade directory.
I would suggest running Regasm on both of these files.
If that doesn't help please feel free to contact me directly at JohnHart@Microsoft.Com. and I'll help you determine what the problem is.
thanks
John
Also please take a quick look at this thread on the forums:

We found yesterday that for some reason the version number for the UpgradeExtensions is not set correctly.
I hope that helps
I have the same problem but one of the files failed to register please advise
see the error
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VB\VBUpgrade>regasm VBUpgrade.Engine.

Hi Samer,
The warning issued from RegAsm for the VBUpgrade.Engine.DLL is expected.
We're actively trying to reproduce the problem here and so far have not been able to. We're working with Cristian offline to determine what exactly is causing the problem.
As soon as we have determine the cause I will let you know.
