Windows 7 VB6

[Shragel]

My dev machine is running windows 7 VB6. Whenever I use Navigate in the code or in the application after compiling I get this error. Is Windows 7 supported?

Hi,

Officially Windows 7 is not supported.
See also Deployment Overview. In particular the paragraph near the bottom.

Did you already install WebView2?

If you really can't upgrade to a Windows version after Windows 7 and you keep getting this issue, then you might want to try AntView version 1 as it targets an older version of the WebView2 API.

I did follow the instructions and am able to compile it successfully on my machine. And it works on other machines. Its just giving this crash here. Do you have any steps I can take on windows 7 to make it work?

Also is my license that I bought a few weeks ago also for ant view 1.0?

Hi,

Yes, you can use that license also for AntView 1.1

Note however that AntView 1.x is a different control and it uses its own set of GUID's and its own namespace.
See: Important changes in AntView 2.0

We're not really recommending AntView 1.1 at this stage, but if it was for a specific use case then trying AntView 1.x could be a workaround on trying to get the control to work on your Windows 7 machine.

If OTOH it is for development only and then deploy on modern supported Windows operating systems then we recommend on staying with AntView 2.0 as that is our current development branch that gets new features and you'll also stay within a supported environment.
It is best to update your development platform. VB6 does work fine on Windows 11.

We don't test against Windows 7 anymore as Microsoft no longer supports WebView2 on that platform, so I'm not sure what to try beyond AntView 1.1 when it comes to using Windows 7.

edit: To clarify, we still support AntView 1.1, but not on Windows 7.

Hello again,

While we don't officially support AntView2 on Windows 7, we don't mind looking to see if there is something we can do on our end in order to get it to work. 
It's a bit on low priority though, so we won't have time until somewhere next week in order to try it out here ourself.

In the meantime, can you enable the logging features, see logging functionality.
Set it to logmode 2 and then make it crash again.

Email the log to support@antwise.com

We'll take a look at it. It might already provide some insight.
