    Thanks for reply, I think that is runtime setup for VB6 binaries, for example I have prepared a project in VB6 and generated an executable, now I want to execute that exe in a machine where VB6 is not installed, what should I do so that my VB6 executable should run on those systems where VB6 is not installed.

    Kind Regards,
    Mushq

    The runtimes can be downloaded from Microsoft, however it is unlikely that will be enough for you - as they only cover the most basic features.

    What you should do instead is create an installation package, which you can do using a program like P&DW that comes with VB, or one of the many other tools available. There are links to downloads and documentation in our Application Deployment FAQ. An installation package will contain the runtimes and whatever else your program needs.
