VB programs in WM5 without port to .net

[Bicalho]

I'm trying to run an especific application made with VB in WM5. Although many statememts that this is not possible and that we have to migrate the code to .net, I managedto make it run. After installation however, no new programs are allowed to install. Can you help me founding the root of this issue? Is important to me to learn about the origin of this incompatibility.

I guess you mean evb programs (scripts)... i think its that after uninstalling them there is a problem with the files with .vb extension and that can be solved when creating the distributable cab changing the regkeys that are modified (its a value wich is changed from 0 to 1 but I can´t recall)... i guess the solutions is explainde in omnisoft forums, also there is the explanation to register additional components to evb... well, it has a long time since i try it... also it works with wm6...

Thank you for your answer. The problem was different.
A specific app Called Diagnosis Pro ( Very Expensive one) refused to install in my WM5 and WM6 devices. It only worked at PPC2002 and WM2003 and 2003/SE devices. Now I managed to install it in My WM4 and 6 devices after changing the dlls that was in the cab file. It's working Ok now.
