I know. It is often very hard to install vb6 in XP, but I have to do it all the time because it is my main dev tool. The most common thing I would see is simply "Setup can not continue." and it would just terminate. I have never seen that error though. Does it say anything else? Sometimes it will say install failed (or something like that) and it will still work anyway lol, so look in your menu just to see maybe it installed anyway.

it's not an error. It's a warning.

Thanks for your reply....
   After that warning... I clicked "continue" Button but the setup  is not responding (known by Task Manager) Then how to install... If there is any possibilities to delete the registry entries or any other files then install as fresh copy.  Please Help.
