SUMMARY
Visual Basic 6.0 applications cannot run on the Windows NT 3.51 platform.
The Visual Basic 6.0 run-time libraries check for the version of the
running operating system; if the Windows NT 3.51 operating system is
recognized, the application will not be allowed to start.
The documentation under Section "System Requirements for Visual Basic
Applications" in Appendix A "Visual Basic Specifications, Limitations and
File Formats" of "Visual Basic 6.0 Programmer's Guide", states that
Visual Basic 6.0 applications can run on Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, this is
incorrect.
Please refer to the correct system requirements at the back of the Visual
Basic 6.0 software package.
