I'm getting an exception message upgrading a VB6 EXE to VB 2005. Do you have any tips that could help me identify the problem.
I've already fixed the Case Is syntax error mentioned in KB 915917.
Are there other KB articles that I should review.
Thanks
I'd also like to add that this Crashes VS2005 and that there is no source file "d" in the vb6 project. I'd also note that you dont get the usuall send crash report dialog, it simply crashes VS2005.
As a work around I tried to convert in VS 2003 and found that conversion in VS2003 is now broken. Can anyone tell me if convert utility should (a) work on machine with vs2003 and vs2005 or (b) does Vs2005 install upgrade the conversion utility.
Thanks
Hi Doug,
I'm sorry you're having this problem. Someone else posted a simular problem today but I'm not sure what is causing it. Both of the Upgrade Wizards in VB 2003 and VB 2005 should work fine on the same machine.
If possible I'd like to work with you offline to see if we can determine the problem.
Can you please send me an email to JohnHart@Microsoft..com and I'll be glad to help you.
Just wanted to let all other readers know that John Hart and others were able to help me resolve this problem.
Thanks again for your assistance and good customer service.
Cheers
Doug
Doug and I were able to get his project to upgrade on one of my machines and another one of his but never really got to the bottom of the issue. Not sure if it was just a hardware problem or what exactly.
If you are having this same problem please contact me directly and we can work together to see if we can determine the cause. You can reach me at JohnHart @Microsoft.com
Thanks Again John, I have another experiment I'm going to try to test my theory of why this happened. But it did convert without blowing up on another machine.
