I came from VB6 and try to do a VB.net application on VB.net which can print .
I used
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Compatibility.VB6
And also installed the power pack. The application works fine on my Windows 8.1 but is crashing on Windows 7.
I tried to install the power pack on Windows 7 systems as well as I package and deployed on the windows 7 system but still no luck. Could anyone help me, why my application crashing on Windows 7 machine?

I have published a mini project in VB.NET 2010, I'm currently using windows 7. The problem is after i transfer it to windows xp(sp2) and install it some of the buttons are not working. It is working properly when I install it to my laptop with windows 7.
Did you try installing .NET Framework 4 on Windows XP? Also you can try to install older versions like 3.5. After installing your program should work.
Download .NET Framework 4 from Microsoft
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Express on Windows 7 to build a desktop application using .NET services with DirectX 11. I've started testing on 2 different Windows 8 machines. One also has VS2013E on it, and uses Windows 8 Pro. The other does not have Visual Studio, and uses Windows 8.1. On the first machine, all I had to do was move my executable onto the machine and it worked fine. On the second, I see no evidence that it attempts to run. In fact, I added a MessageBox.Show(...) as the very first line in my code to see if my code was breaking anywhere, but still, nothing happens. Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Think all you need is here: Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8
I have created an application with VB 2010. My computer runs under Windows Vista. I created the .EXE file as well; simulated an installation and everything works fine. But when I try to install the application in a computer that runs under Windows 7, I get an error message and the application won't install. How can I get the application to run under Win7?
You want to be sure you have the .NET Framework installed on the PC, since VB.NET (and C#, etc.) use the .NET Framework to interact with the CLR, which is not included with Windows by default.
You can either set-up your installer to install the .NET Framework on its own or download the framework separately.
There's no emulator for Windows 8, so in order to develop metro apps I must install the release candidate on a device and run Visual Studio there, right? That's what this page seems to suggest, but I just wanted to double check.
Yes, Windows8 is required.
However, VM can be used. For example, I'm running Win8RP/64 and VS2012RC in Oracle VirtualBox on Win7/64.
NOTE: For developing Metro Style App, you should NOT install VirtualBox Extension Pack.
Yes, you need Windows 8 to develop Windows 8 Metro style apps.
Metro Style apps rely on a new set of APIs which are implemented only in Windows 8 through the the Windows Runtime (WinRT).
There is no emulator for Windows 7 and not even for Windows 8... Windows 8 has a simulator which in practice is just a Remote Desktop session to the same machine. It is not an emulator.
While Windows 8 is not in its final version, what I recommend is to install Windows 8 in a VHD (virtual hard disk) and boot your PC directly to the VHD. It is faster than running virtual machines (because only the disk is virtual, all the rest is real hardware) and you can keep your Windows 7 intact.
This is what I've been using since Developer Preview. I have a dual-boot configuration being one for the Windows 7 that is booting from the regular disk partition, and one Windows 8 that is booting directly from the VHD on disk.
Metro UI style is just a design approach and some guidelines. You are free to implement such interface using Visual Studio 2010 as well as 2008. Using C# and WPF everything is possible. But, indeed, new Visual Studio has a set of Metro style components (WPF) with which your development process will be much more quicker.
The only thing you can't use at OS other than Windows 8 - is WinRT subsystem.
Almost all of the development tools needed to build Metro style applications can be run on OS's other than Windows 8 (Visual Studio and the package creation tools require Windows 8). So it should be possible to set up a build environment using msbuild.exe (or even make/nmake) that will compile and link metro-style applications on an OS other than Windows 8.
However some parts of development MUST be done on Windows 8 - the tools for some of the steps of development will only run on Windows 8.
