Theres this program I've been trying to install on Vista 64 bit, that was compiled in vb6 that installs a bird tracking software. But when I tried to install it I get a runtime error '5', but then when I run it in administrator mode it runs the instillation. The owner is going to give me the source code to try and figure it out, but I have no idea how I can recode the program so the run time error doesn't come up. Or can I program it so that it runs in administrator mode by default? I'm a little rusty at vb6 so if anyone could help that would be a tremendous help to me thank you.

Runtime error '5' is basically a privilege error. You need to modify the installer so that it doesn't need admin privileges.

How would I go about doing that?

I was talking to someone else and he said it might have something to do with vista's lockdown issue? He then told me to check the file paths and then he told me "unfortuneitly idk of a way to get round the vista lockdown unless u change file paths properly" I'm, not sure what he was trying to say?

It's a UAC issue, and you need to add a manifest to the VB6 app that requests elevation. You don't need the source to do this.

Or, since you're getting the source -- port it to VB.NET

Just curious - what is this "bird tracking" software?
