I've located a local friend who has W7.<br />
<br />
I will attempt an installation, and get first-hand observations.<br />
<br />
Then I will get back to you here.

I've been loaned a laptop with Win 7.<br />

A VB6 application I created in XL doesn't run on Windows 7. This is reported to me by a user. I do not have Windows 7 here.<br />
<br />
As far as I can tell, the trouble is that a DLL included in the installation failed to install.<br />
<br />
The quickest way around this for now would be to manually install and register the DLL. Can this be done? I would have to relay your suggestions to the user. I don't want to screw up his OS, though, so some care is required.<br />
<br />
What is the main difference between XL and Windows 7? And why does Microsoft do this to us?<br />

Registering a XL DLL in Windows 7

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
