I find this irrtating myself.

The download at Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0: Run-Time Redistribution Pack (vbrun60sp6.exe) does not seem to match VBRun60sp6.exe installs Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 run-time files (KB290887) as suggested.

Furthermore running it with /? doesn't list the command line options for manual extraction. Worse yet running it w/o /? ends up installing the darned thing with basically no warning except "needs permission."

This resulted in an MSVBVM60.dll version 6.0.98.2 installed with no opportunity to safely test it. I just hope that this and the others files it installed have not done any serious damage. I may have to go recover the correct versions from another machine and copy them back here now.


I am not pleased.

The DLL Help Database still doesn't list versions this recent.

Windows 7 Beta ships with MSVBVM60.dll version 6.0.98.12 (just reverified) so I hope 6.0.98.2 isn't another junky, partially broken release like we've seen of late from Microsoft.
