I recently bought a new desktop running Vista, and I'd like to get my copy of VB6 on it. The problem? My CD is several hundred miles away. I have VB6 installed on my XP laptop, but I would prefer having it on my desktop.

Is there a way to copy my laptop's installation over to my desktop?

I've tried the naive approach of copying the Microsoft Visual Studio folder over, which (shockingly.) didn't work. After feeding it a library file [I'm sorry, I've forgotten which], launching VB6.exe gives "Unexpected error; quitting", even when run in compatibility mode for XP SP2.
