How to VB Runtime 6 (SP6) and When???

[ManWithNoName]

I couldnt find anything about VB Runtime 6 (SP6) how can I add this module to my setup or when SetupFactory will give this runtime support module?

There is no difference between SP5 and SP6 other than the version of MSVBVM60.DLL. So all you need to do is rename the existing file in C:\Program Files\Setup Factory 6.0\Runtimes\vb6sp5 and then place the SP6 version of the file in there.

When you build the EXE, the system will pick up the SP6 version of the file even though you have selected the SP5 runtime.

Alternatively you could also be daring and create a copy of the SP5 project in C:\Program Files\Setup Factory 6.0\Runtimes & then amend it to refer to SP6. So then it will automatically appear in your SUF6 runtime library. But the first option is far the simpler.

JXBURNS is correct but there are 2 other DLLS which should also be included.
I have compiled a self extracting zip file that will add VB6 SP6 runtimes as they should be to SUF but i am unable to upload to the forum but if you email me i will send to you OR if Darryl emails me i can send to him to make availible.

If you are referring to OLEAUT.. etc. included in Microsoft's SP6 installer then be careful. These are version specific and if you install a version designed for XP onto a Win95 machine, it will crash the latter. The ones supplied by IndigoRose are fine if not present or don't overwrite if they are.
