To run Visual Basic 5 (VB5) on a new PC with Vista, simply copying the files from an old PC is insufficient. The error "Cannot register msvbvm50.dll" indicates that the necessary components are not properly installed. The correct solution is to use the original installation CD to install VB5 on the new machine, as most software requires a complete installation process to function correctly.

I have VB5 on my old PC, and I want to use it on my new PC. Copied all the VB files, etc. When I tried to run I got "Cannot register msvbvm50.dll"

Anybody know how I can fix this, so VB5 will run on my Vista machine?
Thanks.
