Thread Name: Tech: 64-bit Vista - CAUTION for Computer Buyers
Subject: RE: Tech: CAUTION for Computer Buyers
There will certainly be no VISTA64 versions of my shareware programs.

Why? Because Visual Basic 5 does NOT EVEN INSTALL on Vista, and VB.net requires a complete rewrite of the application, since they have taken vital things OUT of the language (as well as the OS).

So I cannot write or update any code for VISTA. Luckily, code compiled under XP does run on VISTA32 as well.

I am sure this will apply to many shareware programs.
