Thanks for everyone who offered me advice! I succeded. I copied VB3.0 and 4.0 files from a functional box and put them on the Alien. The when the 6.0 CD came up I cancelled the autostart installation and went to "Properties" for the Setup.exe ans set the "Compatabilty" to "XP S3" and "Run as Administrator". Respond to the "Window 7 incompatabity" dialog box with "Run anyway". The installation proceeded nicely. On the first attempt to run a program I got a "No license, see log" message for the old Grid control. I quickly placed an MSFlexGrid on all the forms that predated the general move to that and things seem to be fine! PS. The flight simulators seem OK, but I'm stumbling with the game device controllers.. The devices got pulled in but I can't calibrate so have the sloppy default null zones to deal with.
