As we all can see from the first post, it's still OT. As I read it it is
another reason to NOT use interop. ;)

Kevin,
This newsgroup is declared by some private persons only for VB6 or
earlier.
Should I understand from Mayanana and you that by posting by both of you
Net subjects in this newsgroup, that this restriction is ended?
I know a good reason to keep this newsgroup for VB6. but as I see you
posting now Net subjects in this newsgroup I think you tell that this
reason is outdated.

Have ya'll checked out the download for the 4.0 Shamework?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ee2118cc-51cd-46ad-ab17-af6fff7538c9&displaylang=en#filelist
x86 full download: 76 MB
x64 full download: 157 MB
And the .net evangelists wonder why I won't port my apps, most between .5
and 2 MB to VB.NET. And before the kooks come back and go on about how
modern hard drives are practically limitless in size, that's not my
argument. My biggest gripe is the experience for the end user. Who the
hell wants to download an install of *that* size. It's wrong of MSFT to
assume everyone out there has a high bandwidth connection to the
Internet.
A lot of my friends up north still have no choice but to use dial up
because
they live out in BFE and don't have the convenience of cable or DSL.
I suppose I should start pitching my "download on demand" Inno script to
.net coders so their unfortunate users only need to download and install
this mess once and not with every update, or have to fumble through a
website full of patches. I've learned that part of being successful in
the
software biz is to make the experience for the end user as easy and a
pain
free as possible as most of them are too computer literate like you and
I.
Once you make things complicated, like .net written apps, they start
looking
for alternatives which amounts to lost sales.
