So I decided its about time I learn VB6, but I'm having trouble installing visual studio. When I run the setup, it says "Setup has determined that the following applications(s) are running:
Microsoft Development Environment
We recommend that you close these application(s) before continuing."
Now, I've look in my task manager, and I don't see anything called Microsoft development Environment. I've also tried just installing it with this Microsoft Development Environment still running, but then I get an error saying it was not successfully installed.
Sooo, what is this Microsoft Development Environment, and how can I shut it down?

No. You were wrong. It is not time to learn VB6. Because it is not 1998.
Instead try learning VB2008 or VC#2008 or anything that's relevant today. It's free. So really:

Isn't assembly a hard language?
Edit: Just did some research, and assembly apparently isn't hard to learn...
Guess I need some new advisors when it comes to programming. Seems like the people I've been talking to have no damn clue what they're talking about...
So lets start as base1:
Hi, I'm new to programming, and I'm looking for a language that would be somewhat easy to learn, and also somewhat useful. I wanted to jump right into c++, but was told I should learn an easier language first. Any suggestions?

Oh, you twit. I dunno, what do you want to do? Java is, in some sense, easy, but it's a very poor language IMHO. You could learn Python, it's nice. C# is C-like with many friendly libraries. Uhm. True Basic, if you want to be ruined as a programmer. First language I learned, or was taught, was Basic, then Haskell in first year of Uni, then Java in second. A lot of Java. And just these past weeks I've done some Python. This doesn't include the stuff I tried to teach myself, obv. I have some links if you want.

Hmmm, I just read throught the first few pages of that, and even though I haven't learned anything about the code itself(I think), the story is keeping me interested 
But, I think I'm going to stick with vb. Really the reason I'm learning vb is to get myself used to actual coding, so that it will be easier when I start learning c# or c++.
Edit: I'm really having a hard time finding decent tutorials. Almost every site I've been is like "set up your buttons and stuff like this, then double click that button and copy paste this code."
Its like, the whole point of me reading the tutorial is to learn what the code means and how its put together and stuff, not to place a bunch of buttons with click-drag and then copy-paste code that someone else wrote.

That might be why VB isn't really the best place to start.
I'm not really sure where you should start. I only started once and that was decades ago. And things are different now.
I do know you should steer clear of C++ and Java. Those are some of the worst places to start ever.

Well I finally found a decent tutorial, and luckily its a very long tutorial that covers just about everything. So I'm goin' through it atm, and I've finally got a bunch of stuff figured out.
<a href="http://visualbasic.about.com/od/learnvbnet/a/LVBE_L1.htm">Here</a> is the tutorial I'm following if anyone's interested.

SJ, you should allow html  It's allowed but you have to code-tag it.
...and that's the bottom line because Mate de Vita said so.

Should be something like:
code AwesomeString = Form1.Text1.text
Form1.Text1.text = SomeOtherString This is just a wild guess though. I haven't used VB since the last millenium.

Form1.Text1.text = SomeOtherString This is just a wild guess though. I haven't used VB since the last millenium. Close but
I get that form1 cannot refer to itself in an instance [or something close to that]
so replace form1 with me
But that still leaves me with code Error 1 Value of type 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox' cannot be converted to 'String' .
You use C++ though right?
