Trick VB6 setup into thinking Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java is Installed There are two ways in which you can do this which we’ll list below, you only need to use one of them. Then you can reach the next phase of the installation. The solution is to bypass the VB6 setup by either tricking it into thinking Microsoft Java is already installed or by telling it not to install Java in the first place.
The problem is, the VB6 setup does not allow you to continue with the installation if you untick the “Update Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java” checkbox as it grays out the Next button. A computer should always maintain the latest version of Java and it’s pointless having the discontinued Microsoft Virtual Machine for Java on the computer just to install Visual Basic 6.
