VB6 and Win7 (off-topic discussion from Multicalc thread)

[Ioannis]

Steve, does the Express version:

1. Create Installer for program distribution as VB6 did?

2. Does the new VB Studio support Serial Ports?

The Express version create an "ExpressInstaller", says a "one click setup". You can't specify any path, no EULA, no nothing. It's meant for easy software distribution. You can't sale any software made with any EXPRESS version either.

Yes it has a native SerialPort support. It's not limited to COM16 like VB6 (unless you "patch" the OCX). Easy Easy.
