VB6 compiling via console (vb.exe) compatibility i

问题:

I'm using

    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98
vb6.exe /make Project1 /out %1

To basically compile my application, and I'm getting a compatibility issue (Saying doesn't work on my type of windows).

When compiling with the VB6 IDE (Make .exe) that works perfectly on my machine but this isn't, does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks

Error I receive when trying to open executable: "This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 32-bit or a x64 64-bit version of the program, the contact the software publisher".

& It's a standard EXE application also.

I've tried running it as a administrator, trouble shooting / changing the compatibility to windows XP service pack 2 & 3, still didn't work.

Work prefer a good fix to this, like if there's anything I can do via console as a option or something or some option or anything.

Cheers! Please help ASAP

From the discussion in the comments, I believe the answer here is as follows (as identified by GSerg):

The problem is your use of the /make switch on the command line. The documentation says this about /out:

Outputs errors to a file when used with the /make or /makedll switch.

So, if you used vb6.exe /make Project1 /out Project1.exe, then Project1.exe would actually be a text file containing the error output from the compiler and thus would not be an actual executable, even though it had an .exe extension.

You actually don't specify the output binary when you use /make. The help output from running VB6.exe /? is a little more explicit:

Tells Visual Basic to compile projectname and make an executable file from it, using the existing settings stored in the project file.

VB remembers the last filename and directory you used for compiling your project in the IDE, and it stores that in the .vbp file:

ExeName32="Project1.exe"
Path32="..\output"

I use a batch file to handle this issue. It sets the path to include both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Program Files directories. Then just reference 'vb6.exe' and the correct one will be pulled from your path.

set PATH=c:"\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin"
set PATH=%PATH%;c:"\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98"
set PATH=%PATH%;c:"\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin"
set PATH=%PATH%;c:"\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98"
vb6 /m foobar.vpb
