vb.net upgrade : VB6 Runtime Error: "Unexpected error; quitting"

I recently installed VS 6.0 on a XP Pro PC that already had VS.Net 2003
installed on it. I also have several drives and installed VS 6 on the E
drive, which is also where I have VS.Net 2003 installed. The only problem I
encountered during VS6 installation was an error stating that VS Analyzer
failed to install. Now, VS 6 VC++ runs fine but VS6 VB fails with the above
error. Also, VS 6 does not show in the Add/Remove Apps dialog. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks all,

John,
Actually, I had already seen that article but it didn't help. I did,
however, solve the problem by reinstalling VS 6 without any of the extras.
Its fine now
Jim
