To run .vbp (Visual Basic Project) files, you need a redistributable runtime library set
containing the vb.dll files for the version of Visual Basic
by which the program was created.
There are 6 versions of VB.
Service Pack 6 (SP6) was released late March 2004.
It will run files written with VB 6 SP1 to SP6,
so it replaces
v6.0 SP5 and other VB6 runtimes.
After you have downloaded the file, run it.
Specify c:\temp. Then take Windows Explorer to that folder and
run vbrun60sp6.exe so it copies files
msvbvm60.dll, oleaut32.dll, olepro32.dll, and VBRUN600.dll
to your Windows System folder.
However, programs created with previous versions of VB
require a separate runtime, which
can be installed on top of each other.
