App 8 finding decompiler

At first I was completely stumped on here when I needed to do more, then after looking at hints, I found out I needed a visual basic decompiler to finish this mission.

After a bit at googling, I founded one decompiler that didn't let me edit information, then I found another which did, but changed it into a format that didn't work (tried saving it as .exe didn't work, even downloaded visual basic so I can recompile it into .exe it failed).

Anyone know a free decompiler that is sufficient enough for application 8 or am I doing this all wrong?

I believe I used OllyDbg.

EDIT: By the way, a small amount of knowledge about assembly language can be helpful as well for recognizing important parts of the program.

You can use Olly for the entire mission but, if you choose to use a Visual Basic disassembler, the trial versions don't let you change anything, you can only look with them. Download hiew32 to make changes.

How gay =\ well I can either torrent the origional version, pay $80 to finish a mission on here (lol), or I can learn assembly.

I'll take option #3 thank you :D (after I do some more studying in networking)

I know very basic assembly, and I was able to beat app 1- 15. You should take a stab at it. It's amazing what you learn when you get your hands dirty.
