    Re: VB6 redistributables

    Suggest you Google "Redistributables for VB6"

    You'll find links like

    http://www.cnet.com.au/tag/microsoft...sual_basic.htm

    But bare in mind that while this may give you the core VB6 Run-Time, it won't necessarily run all VB6 programs

    The reason is that there are numerous optional DLL and OCX file which may make up a VB6 Application

    This is why each application normally needs to be specially packaged and installed, so that the extras are also installed.

    If you dont have access to the "Setup" for an application then by all means, try running the application using the core runtime - any missing components and references will quickly show themselves, which you could then hunt up on the Internet and register into your machine - Rerunning the app. will then reveal more .. and more ... until finally your app. will work

    There may be a better way than this suggestion, but this may just get you there

    You can download the VB6 runtime library from Microsoft's site. This will allow the basic controls, but it's built into Vista now.
