Do they not make Virtual Machines where you come from? Or am I missing something?



Well no, that particular office didn't. The office I was a part of did. Suffice to say their DevOps-fu was slightly weak compared to the rest of the organization.

I was the one who actually set out to build the VM image.

Not a trivial task at all to get the VB6 side of it running. Which is the exact reason we are supposed to do things like making VMs for development environments.

It would be nice to be at all places in all points of time with perfect knowledge in order to stop bullshit from happening in the first place but I can only be here and now.


Even getting a VM running that can properly support VB6 is a non-trivial exercise, especially if you want to properly adhere to Microsoft's licenses.
