Visual Basic 6 makes Visual Studio 2010 try to install

Question

I am using Visual Basic 6 for an old project and it is working fine. I recently installed Visual Studio 2010 RC, and now when I start VB6, I get an installer called "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional RC - ENU". If I click Cancel, I can open my project in VB6.

Is there a way to get rid of this, or am I just the only person on the planet still using VB6?

Update: The fix worked for ages, but the problem started again a week ago. Has anyone else seen this again?

Update to update: I had a PC setup as a dual boot between Win7 and WinXP. It seems that some necessary files were on the WinXP disk, and when I deleted it recently, it caused the problem again.

Answer 1

This is a known issue . Obviously, Office applications can cause the same behavior. Like you, I saw this when I opened the VB6 project. It has not yet been fixed in RC, but there is a workaround. You just need to create a directory and the problem goes away.
