Believe it or not, the legacy point of sale product I work on still uses a VB6 app for the cash office and reporting functions. A number of large grocery stores still use it in the US and abroad. I don’t work on that part of the application, but it still works just fine on Windows 11.
- xnorswap 3y agoOne of my previous jobs was working on a vb6 POS system, we had to use windows XP VMs just so that we could run an old visual studio to keep developing it. I left that company when it was clear their dreams of replacing it with a SaaS product wasn't headed in the right direction for me, but I sometimes wonder if that product is still going or whether they finally achieved their SaaS migration dream.
- heywire 3y agoVery well could be the same company :)
- rahkiin 3y agoSadly development is no longer possible on Win11 and requires a Win7 VM
- badsectoracula 3y agoI think the installer wont work and needs some workarounds to convince it to install but the program should work.
- vb6sp6 3y agoI coded and compiled a vb6 program last week on windows 11.
- heywire 3y agoI have not tried it myself, but apparently it can be done.
- yukkuri 3y agoNot true, I maintain the VB6 and VC++6 parts of our system on a Win 11 machine. Search a bit and you will find instructions for installing them successfully.
