I have a program that runs on VB6 and is a bit buggy. It was done by one coder and then updated by another. I need the program to run correctly, and upgraded to VB .NET 2008.
 
The attached file installs the program and creates a CODE folder this is the location of the VB6 code.

As I understand it the project may need to be made from scratch as an upgrade may not be possible.
