Visual Basic 6 Pro & Vista Beta 2

I recently gave a real quick presentation to an advanced ASP.NET course at BCIT regarding COM Interop and needed to throw together a quick COM object in VB6. 

After the installation was fully complete make sure you reboot your machine even though it doesnt ask you to do so.  I didnt and it caused MMC to crash all the time.  After the final reboot it appears to have fixed things.

My software use the GetTempPath function to store and get temp files, work's fine at W2K, XP, Win2K+3 but under Vista it seems this temp path is changed. What is the new temp path at Vista? Anybody knows?

Thomas, cant u use the %temp% environment variable to find out the temp path?

p.s i am a developer in C++ and C# and VB6 and i have no plans to use vista for development until a newer version of visual studio comes out and microsoft fully support VB6 enterprise on vista. All of my apps i developed have worked in vista (WIN32 onez and .NET ones), and had no mishaps other tha the user interfaces looked a bit sillier.
