SWEET! WE GOT THE BOARD!!!!

[Joey]

thats awesome. we got this board! thanks to me everyone. your welcome your welcome. jk.

so, about visual basic, i here it is 200 meg. is this true?

::)

Not really too sure how big it is... probably huge(it took me an hour to install microsoft visual studio... which has visual basic 6.0 in it... so I am guessing from that large load time that it is a huge ammount of mb.

[Okiesmokie]

Visual BASIC doesnt take up much room at all.. VB Enterprise 6.0 takes up 31MB on my hard drive.

[AGI1122]

Well I am not sure how much it takes up on mine, but I have the proffessional edition, so it probably comes bundled with tons of junk that I most likely will never use.

[juncmodule]

My Visual Basic folder is a little over 100MB. I install Visual Basic only because my Visual C++ requires that you install it first, so I go with a minimum install. Oh, and it's 6.0 pro.

the enterprise edition probably comes bundled with more stuff you'll never use than the pro edition. Enterprise is considerably more expensive than pro.

I don't know really how big VB is, though.

VB6 isn't required for VC6 to install. i only have VC6 installed alone. i don't even have office installed.

[Joey]

ummmm. what was i gonna say again?........ ummmm
oh yah. just a thought: would i be able to distribute vb games WITHOUT the pro edition? isnt there like a starter or begginer one? would i be able to distribute with that?

[juncmodule]

Oh, wait! I've got Visual Studio 5 not 6. Either way grey wolf, I'm sure your right, my disks always give me problems when installing anyway.

by the way, I know for a fact this is true for 5 and I'm sure it will be true for 6 soon....Back up your disks. I thought I had lost my disk 3, called microsoft, and they claim that they don't have any replacement disks for Visual Studio 5. Bastards. Not exactly a cheap program...I don't care how old it is they should still support it.

later,

Cool!

A programming board!

there's alot of moderators here

[AGI1122]

Well, df chose members who know stuff about programming, my specialty is php, perl, and mysql.

While others might specialize in assembly, c, or c++. All of us know enough about programming to help others, and maintain this board.

[smartguy240]

I know everything about Visual Basic 6.0...i helped write a book about it too!

[Berserk]

Visual Studio 6 Enterprise 6 ONLY 32mb on your hard drive

That is S*** I got it VS, Enterprise 6 with the full installation, thats right, i installed all the features, although i only use VC++ and InterDev ;D

And what is the difference between VS 6 & VS.NET, i mean - what new features has it got??

Ciao

[jrfritz]

Yea but you need the huge files on the CD to run VC++.

[elias]

i feel left out, not knowing VB and all. no offense to you guys, but i think its the devils language.
