SYMPTOMS
After starting Setup.exe to install the 16-bit version of Visual Basic 4.0, you receive the following message:

This setup program is not intended to be used with this version of Windows.

After starting Setup.exe to install the 32-bit version of Visual Basic 4.0 you receive one of the following messages:

The 32-bit version of Visual Basic requires the released version of Windows NT 3.51.

-or-

The 32-bit version of Visual Basic requires the released version of Windows 95.

The setup program does not continue past this point.



CAUSE
Visual Basic 4.0 is designed to run only on the released versions of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 3.51 (build 1057) or later. Setup.exe gives you the preceding message if you try to install Visual Basic 4.0 on an earlier version of either operating system.



RESOLUTION
Upgrade your operating system to the released version of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 3.51 or later.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce
On a machine running Windows NT 3.5 or earlier or a beta copy of Windows 95, run Setup.exe from the VB 4.0 CD-ROM, or disk 1.

Immediately after starting Setup.exe you will receive one of the error messages discussed above.
