I'll have to agree with SAKryukov, you can download Visual Basic 2010 Express[^]. Usually upgrading to .net is well worth the effort.

Solution 1

Short and best answer: get rid of VB and try to forget it as soon as you can. VB6 controls don't support Unicode.

Most modern systems works with Unicode for a long time already. Showing so popular Unicode Perso-Arabic script http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perso-Arabic_script[^] was never a problem.

Long and ugly way: it looks like there is a number of third-part Unicode controls for VB6.

Do this: http://en.lmgtfy.com/?q=VB6+Unicode[^] to see over 2 millions of results. However, I would say — don't torture yourself, stop using VB6.

Here, full unicode support in both design mode and during runtime for VB6.

OptionButton
Checkbox
Label
CommandButton
File I/O
Clipboard I/O
Other routines for putting Unicode into the caption of any VB control with a hWnd,
including forms.

Just download from here and you're all set:

So ... I need to unzip a random file ... don't think so sunshine. The post is 3 years old ffs

CHill60, why don't you explain to us what the dangers are of unzipping (or un-7zipping) a file are. All you'll find is VB6 source code, no .EXE. And you've got a problem with solutions that are three years old? Hey, it's better than never, and lots of us still get LOTS of use out of VB6. So let's chill a bit.

The dangers of following the link is that viruses and other malware can be hidden in files that claim to be zip files. It is impossible to tell that the zip is genuine and only contains source code without opening it.
Yes I have a problem with solutions posted 3 years later on an already answered post with what a lot of people would perceive as site-driving spam - I'm not the only one.
Can't respond to your comment about VB6 - I often help out members who are still using VB6 largely because the companies they work for are so short-sighted, don't understand why you included it.
