Dear coordinator,

I want to install visual basic (6 or Express Free edition) on my computer for programming purpose. But whenever I try to install any verion on my comptuer with Windows 7 it stops the installation saying:

      "This version of Visual Studio requires with a newer version of windows. Setup cannot be continue"

Is there any version of Visual Basic or Visual Basic for Express made for Windows 7. I cannot install Windows 8.

Please guide me in this regards,

Zulfiqar Ali

    As far as your version is concerned it should install on windows 7 machine. So try once again by running the setup as administrator.

    1. there are new version available visual studio 2010 and above with .NET capabilities which varies from VB6 so some code syntax may vary. but if you are ok with new version then you can download it from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
