Files to include for Visual Studio 2017?

I wrote several programs in VB6 in which you must include two files: niglobal.bas and vbib-32.bas. We have gotten a new Windows 10 Pro computer, a PCI-e IEEE488 card and downloaded Visual Studio 2017. I tried a simple program to get started and those two files are NOT the ones to include. So I get the error: BC30451 'ibdev' is not declared.

 

So what do I have to do to get the references into the project? I have added a reference to the ni4882.dll and did Project>>Add Reference>>COM>>Type Libraries>>National Instruments System API. Neither helped.

 

Thanks!

Hi, I have the same issue.

 

I used my VB program with Windows7 and it works fine.

 

I'm switching to windows10 and the VBIB32 must be updated to 64bit.

 

How could I update the niglobal.bas and VBIB32.bas files ?

 

Or does I need to do Something else?

 

Please, help.
