I installed VB4 on MS Windows Vista Business Edition
I could not start VB4, the error I get is "olepro32.dll could not be
registered"
I want to uninstall it but VB4 does not appear in "Programs & Features" in
the "Control Panel"! I tried running "ST4UNST.EXE" present at "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Basic\setupkit\kitfil32" but I het the following
message:
"The application removal program may only be run from either from the
Program Manager icon (Windows NT) or from the control panel Add/Remoce
Programs applet (Windows 95)"
How can I solve this!?
 
You won't be able to install a product that old in Vista. I would recommend
installing Virtual PC, add an operating system to Virtual PC, then install
your VB4 product there.
 
It is already installed!! But not running
My question now is how to uninstall it?!

System Restore to a point prior to the installation.

Bull.

My VB3 install worked just fine for the month that
I ran Vista on my new tablet PC before upgrading it
to XP Tablet because Vista had sooo many problems...

(I know this doesn't help the OP, but I felt it was necessary
to correct this blatantly incorrect information)
