I'm going to install VB6 in a win95 machine where VB5 is allready installed. I have heard that VB6 overwrites some ocx. I'm afraid I will have problems with my old VB5 applications, that I will need to mantain. The questions are:<br />
1) Is it possible to keep VB5 and VB6 in the same machine?<br />
2) What kind of measures can I take to avoid version incompatibilities and that sort of problems?<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

VB6 Installation with previous version VB5

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
