runtime error 6
I am running a new Dell 8500 workstation. A program for building software give a run time error on this computer. The manufacturer of the software has suggested installing SP2 for Visual studio 97.
The program runs on all other Windows 7 Professional computers?
Dell has not been forthcoming with a solution
Is there another solution?
If not where would one find this software. I have not been successful on finding this.
Will visual Studio 97 run on windows 7 professional?

wilf_thorburn--You should install SP3 for Visual Studio.

There is a chance VS1997 SP3 will work with Win 7 32 bit.
If not you can also try Compatibility Mode with VS 1997.

Remember you have had two experts counsel that Visual Studio 1997 will not run properly on Win 7. There is only an outside chance to use Compatibility Mode. But $7.50 is not much of a risk.
Depending how important this issue is to you, the best bet is to buy a new version of Visual Studio. Cheaper would be to subscribe to MSDN or Technet which give you access to a free download.

Perhpas I have misled the question by indicating that a possible solution is to get the service pack. Visual Studio is not required for the programs on this computer. The manufacturer of the program suggested the SP would be a solution.
There are two programs that are necessary for the client. Both are data base programs, and one uses Microsoft SQL. That program seems to run fine. The one giving the runtime error 6 does not need SQL.
Has anyone ran into a runtime error 6 that has been rectified?

Try matching .NET Framework to the old program. .NET Framework 1 does not work on Windows 7 (at least not on my machines) but .NET 2, 3 3.5 and 4 all run. Perhaps uninstall .NET Framework 4 to see if that helps.
