My company recently upgraded our PCs to XP service pack 3. We still have some vb6 apps that connect to an EJB server via a JCOM bridge. These apps still work as compiled exes but i noticed that during debugging the IDE hangs when it tries to create a JCOM object. I suspected it was as a result of the XP upgrade and was able to confirm this by successfully debugging the same code on a machine with XP SP2.
I have vb sp6 installed (Vs6sp6B.exe) I notice there are further versions available called vs6sp6b1, vs6sp6b2, vs6sp6b3 and vs6sp6b4 from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=83bf08e6-012d-4db2-8109-20c8d7d5c1fc#filelist
Does this issue sound familiar to anyone? Would appreciate some advice before attempting to install these upgrades.
Thanks
