Title: skjukebox vs windows 7
Post by: superbigjay on January 19, 2010, 09:51:15 pm: Does anyone tried to run skjukebox on windows 7?

Long time ago, I demonstrate to a friend of mine how fast and easy was skjukebox with a huge collection of music and he loved it.
Recently, he upgraded his PC with windows 7 and wasn't able to install skjukebox on it.

I haven't tried it myself, but I was was wondering if someone had any trouble/success using skjukebox on a PC running windows 7.

Jay.

He might need to find and install the Visual Basic 6 runtime files required the app to run (also in the mirror page, like http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/Salmonking (http://mirrors.arcadecontrols.com/Salmonking)).

PS. This was just tested on 64bit Windows 7.

my friend just called me and confirmed that he forgot to install VB6.

After VB6 installation, the program run fine.

thanks a lot!

This issue is resolved.

thanks,
Steve

But the app DOES work this time, but might not do the in the future OS, since I heard VB6 support have been dropped at all (no runtime files included), But let see its do can install these runtime files with the exe instead.
