I just purchased VB6 upgrade. It was one CD for VB and about 7 CDs plus
startup manuals for Visual Studio. Is this what I was supposed to get?
I just opened the box so my questions might be answered as I get
further into it.

Seven sounds about right for the full Visual Studio Enterprise edition
(VB, VC++, and J++).

If so install it all. VC++ includes some additional utilities you may
want to play with later on to supplement your VB development. The J++
stuff you can ignore, but doesn't take up much space.

And yes, it will all come clear as you go along.

Also don't forget SP6.

I'm not really into or interested, at least yet, in Visual Studio. I
started Setup
from the VB CD and it wanted to install VS. I aborted the installation
until
I can determine for sure I have VB6.

VB6 is one of the optional components of VS6. Start the install,
uncheck the components you don't want.

OK, done that, VB6 installed, but maybe not completely. Trying to run one
of my projects from VB4, it can not find file dbgrid32.ocx. I did get a
response
while installing that it could not register
msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/register/vb6.asp.
And, clicking Help, does not open help files. It appears the msdn are the
help files
and I have not been able to find them. Where are they?
