I've been reading more about heat, vb6 and vista. I'm now starting to get
worried that there's a potential difference between running Heat on Vista
versus XP. And yes, you do need to run as Admin, and elevated for Heat to
actually extract anything. Also, Should I be deleting all the registry
entries that refer to the VB Virtual Machine Runtime DLL...I forget the
exact key, but it references "c:\windows\system32 ... MSVBRuntime(forgot
name).dll.
Perhaps there's a list of things that should be deleted..as in, after heat
produces the output, we need to do the following steps:
1. Ignore ICE82
2. Delete anything related to the VB Runtime DLL, etc.
3. Run Smoke, ORCA, etc..
Any help would be appreciated as our migration to Vista is proving to be
painstakingly difficult. I'm almost there, I'd just like to this clean up
now while I'm in development, rather than later when the product goes out
for testing.
