Just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium on it. I have not yet installed VB6 and it does not have runtime.
Why is it that my VB6 programs work anyhow?

Did you install the VB6 applications? Did the applications come with the VB runtime?

All VB applications need the VB runtimes moduels. If you dont have then they can be downloaded seperatley from Microsoft without having to install the entire VB6 application.

If your VB6 programs work, then you have the runtime. It comes bundled with Windows.

Thanks for your replies. How can you tell if you have VB6 runtime on your computer? where is it located?

Well, that bundle StuartS points to contains: vbrun60.inf; asycfilt.dll; oleaut32.dll; olepro32.dll; stdole2.tlb; and msvbvm60.dll. I'd look for those. Probably in your system32 directory.

I have the files listed above except vbrun60.inf or any other vbrun file. This may also be the reason that when I run a VB program there are words left out of the text and the windows are compressed.
