Visual Basic 6.0 Toolkit Setup Download For Windows 10
Endike Baur
I have created an application in Visual Basic.After that, I make a setup using Package and Deployment WizardBut when I tried to install it I got an error "Visual basic 6.0 setup toolkit has stop working"Somebody please help me.
I had a problem like that once. It was caused because the Pack/De[loy wizard was using the wrong version of setup.exe. Earlier I had made some kind of error (do not know what it was), it caused VB6 to lose the location of the setup file for Pack/Deploy so it ASKED me with "Can not find file..." Browse for it". Well, when I was browseing I chose the wrong Setup.exe (the one in Windows\system32\setup.exe) and it has held on to the path ever since. I cant seem to find a way to change it to correct one. I get by the problem by manually copying the correct setup to the package after I make it.
First released in 1991, Microsoft Visual Basic was a programming environment where one could build an application by visually creating the user interface first, and then adding code. In contrast, even the smallest Visual Basic basic programs could take reams of program code to write in C or C++. Visual Basic was extremely popular for business application programming. The language itself was an interpreted BASIC dialect, however speed was maintained through the use of reusable compiled libraries (DLLs and VBX controls). These however, limited application development to Microsoft Windows.
Visual Basic 3 was the most popular version under 16-bit Windows 3.1, while Visual Basic 6 was the most popular for 32-bit Windows 95/NT and later. After version 6, Visual Basic was replaced by Visual Basic .NET, an incompatible successor.
The Microsoft Professional Toolkit is a library of custom controls, setup tools, and help creation tools for Microsoft Visual Basic. This was bundled with some copies of Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 at a higher cost.
You've probably heard of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the sprawling collection of cloud data and computing services provided by the folks who used to sell cheap books with free shipping. Now, thanks to AWS, you can spin up computing infrastructure from nothing to an enterprise in minutes, and you don't even need Amazon Prime to do it!
But seriously, the services available through AWS range from simple S3 and Glacier file storage to SQL and NoSQL data stores, Hadoop-based distributed data processing, data pipelines, message queues, Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) application servers and more. Pretty much any type of computing task can be rented from AWS.
It doesn't take any particularly special tooling to get started with AWS -- pretty much everything can be done via Web interfaces and standard network communication protocols -- but good tooling always makes the job easier and less error prone. If your local development, testing, deployment, operations, and data services tasks typically revolve around Windows, Visual Studio, and SQL Server, here are a collection of tools you should check out that will fit smoothly into your existing workflow and seamlessly tie AWS-hosted data and services into your projects.
AWS Toolkit
Your first installation for working with Amazon cloud services should be AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, also available directly from AWS. AWS Toolkit adds the AWS Explorer to Visual Studio, along with the AWS SDK for the Microsoft .NET Framework and new project templates. AWS Explorer enables you to view and manage AWS resources used in your project such as S3 buckets or other data resources, and you can even deploy and manage resources with your own configurations or AWS CloudFormation provisioning templates. AWS Toolkit also provides editors that let you view, edit, and send messages on Amazon SQS queues and Amazon SNS topics. It pretty much lets you write code, provision services, deploy your code, and manage the service right from Visual Studio. If your services are running Windows, you can even Remote Desktop into it using AWS Toolkit.
Amazon provides fairly good AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Documentation in both HTML and PDF formats. If you're just getting started, take a look at Getting Started with the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio over at the Clearpath Solutions Group blog. (Clearpath offers help with planning and managing cloud deployments, should you need it.) Also check out Philip Stirpe's "How To Work with S3 Using the AWS Toolkit in Visual Studio" tutorial with accompanying video demonstration, and Norm Johanson's "Connecting to Amazon EC2 Instances from the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio" tutorial on the AWS .NET Development blog.
Command-Line Tools
If you're at all handy with a command-line interface, there are a few excellent AWS command-line toolkits available to suit both your resource management needs and your terminal environment preferences.
The "AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI)" provides an aws-shell environment from which you can issue commands to manage S3 instances and transfer files, as well as manage EC2, SNS and SQS instances. AWS CLI is available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. See "Installing the AWS CLI" for details on downloading the MSI installer and setting up the tools on Windows. You'll end up with a Unix-like command environment, which might have a learning curve, but the advantage is the ability to move between Windows and *nix environments with ease.
"AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell (see Figure 1) is a great alternative if you want a more Windows-native CLI to your AWS resources. The PowerShell tools provide access to all of the AWS resources and services available to the AWS SDK for the .NET Framework and you can also take advantage of PowerShell's scripting tools. I recommend reading "Mapping Cmdlets to AWS Service APIs" by Steve Roberts over on the AWS .NET Development blog to get a great overview of the translation between cmdlets and API resources. It also demonstrates how powerful and flexible the PowerShell tools can be for managing your AWS infrastructure.
Of course, if you're running something like From the Canyon Edge: Ubuntu on Windows -- The Ubuntu Userspace for Windows Developers (AKA Windows 10's Bash Shell) or maybe Cygwin you can install the AWS CLI using apt-get or pip.
SAWS: A Supercharged AWS CLI takes the AWS CLI tools a step further, using the same commands and syntax, but adding features including auto-completion of commands, options, bucket names, instance IDs, and instance tags, customizable shortcuts, syntax and output highlighting, and more. SAWS is supported on Windows and even works in your familiar CMD prompt.
While its main line of business is providing an app store for server software via Stacks, Bitnami offers Cloud Tools for AWS. This packages together the AWS CLI tools with preconfigured Java, Ruby, Python, Perl and Node.js language runtimes, the idea being a one-stop shop for AWS tools, SDKs, and pre-configured cloud services stacks that you can manage directly or through Bitnami's service.
S3Express (see Figure 2) is a lightweight, specialized command-line application for managing Amazon S3 resources and for backing up or restoring between S3 and Glacier. S3Express enables scripting, retrying, pausing, and resuming transfers, selective uploads, and enables managing metadata and ACLs, as well. The download includes a 21-day trial period. See the S3Express Web site for licensing details and current pricing.
Late-breaking and still in preview as we go to press: Those of you who like configuration automation should take a look at the AWS DSC Toolkit PowerShell module from Microsoft, which lets you register AWS EC2 instances as Desired State Configuration (DSC) nodes in Azure Automation, then manage the EC2 instances with PowerShell DSC configurations. For background check out the Azure Automation DSC Overview and the PowerShell DSC on AWS guide.
S3 Browser
S3 Browser from NetSDK Software is a handy graphical Windows client for working with Amazon S3 and CloudFront storage resources. Similar to the previously mentioned S3Express, but with an intuitive GUI, S3 Browser supports features like folder syncing (only move new or modified files), compression and encryption, data-integrity checking, pause and resume uploads, bandwidth throttling, backup and restore to Glacier, and much more.
NetSDK offers some related applications including FastGlacier, which provides advanced features for uploading and downloading files with Amazon Glacier, as well as managing Glacier vaults. TNT Drive lets you mount S3 buckets as removable or network drives in Windows. All three applications are free for personal use and licenses are available for professional use.
Cloud Combine
I mentioned Cloud Combine (see Figure 3) in my recent 14 Tools for Microsoft Azure Development article, and of course it also fits nicely into this roundup as a cross-cloud file management tool. Cloud Combine provides a simple Windows Explorer-style interface that lets you configure access to all of your cloud storage resources: AWS S3, Microsoft Azure Storage (Blobs, Tables and Queues), and Google Cloud Storage. Once set up, you can browse, download, upload, and transfer files locally and in your cloud services, and even move files between cloud storage services. Download a 30-day free trial from the Web site. As I'm writing this, perpetual licenses with unlimited free updates are available for individuals or teams.
Amazon Integrator
Amazon Integrator from /n Software provides a comprehensive suite of components that gives your code direct access to AWS services including AmazonRequest, EC2, Glacier, PAAPI (Amazon Associates, formerly ECS), S3, Simple Email Service (SES), SimpleDB, Simple Notification Service (SNS) and Simple Queue Service (SQS). Components are available for the .NET Framework including Windows Forms and ASP.NET, classic ASP, ActiveX, Xamarin, Windows Phone and more. /n Software put together some excellent documentation plus code samples and demos across the supported services and technology stacks. You can grab a 30-day free trial from the Web site, which also has details on licensing and support.
