Visual Basic 3.0 Problem

[jfield817]

Using VB 3.0 .....
Trying to open a .mak file of a legacy application.
and getting error msg ....."License file not
found for 3-Widgets ....can' be use design mode"

We purchased 3-D Widgets and still get the error message
after I installed it.

Also get the same error msg for Spin.vbx ...

I cant find the original installation disks for VB3
and grabbed the files off the network...

Any solutions ?
Thanks
John

I'm just guessing here...
If you're not running Windows 3.1 then then I think you should just upgrade to vb 4.0, if possible. Then reinstall your control libraries. I say this for a couple of reasons..

1.) VB 3.0 was built for use on a 16-bit architecture (Win 3.1). Therefore, the way the controls register are likely to be different from how they register now. So NT or win 95 probably won't refer to the registration info correctly.

2.) VB 4 should be able to use the .vbx controls. Plus you can work with it on the 32-bit platforms.

I still have my copy. cornerboyz@hotmail.com
