The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Control Creation, Learning, Professional and Enterprise editions for Windows, version 5.0
Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0

SUMMARY

Visual Basic does not support Administrator or Network setup. If your computer has a shared Windows 3.10 or Windows 95 installation, you can set up Visual Basic only if you have write privileges to the network system directory. The Visual Basic files can be installed to the local hard drive or a private network share.

MORE INFORMATION

Because Visual Basic doesn't support Administrator or Network setup, Microsoft Technical Support does not provide support for Visual Basic installed or running from a network.
