Note that you can unpack the setup file with any archiving software than can decompress/unpack SFX CAB archives to check the file versions.
Something I saved into a readme file with the setup file:
Before you install you can check the already installed Run-Time by using the chartbelow that lists the version number, and date of the files that will be registered.Only files registered into the Windows registry by the installation are listed,there are however more files installed.FILENAME: | VERSION: | SIZE: | DATE:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------comcat.dll | 4.71.1460.1 | 21.7 KB (22,288 bytes) | May 08, 2002----------------------------------------------------------------------------------msvbvm60.dll | 6.0.97.82 | 1.32 MB (1,386,496 bytes) | February 23, 2004----------------------------------------------------------------------------------oleaut32.dll | 2.40.4275.1 | 584 KB (598,288 bytes) | April 12, 2000----------------------------------------------------------------------------------olepro32.dll | 5.0.4275.1 | 160 KB (164,112 bytes) | May 08, 2002----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well Andavari I've run VB apps of Vista without installing anything and they work perfectly. I've never tried to install VB6 of Vista but I know some people have problems.
Duke have a search on here to see if other users have a similar problem.
Another link about VB on Vista on VBForums and here.
The basis RunTime Files are already installed on Win2k/XP/Vista. It sounds like Duke is having a problem installing VB initially. I presume Duke that you are trying to install VB as an Admin?

You can unpack anything from Microsoft with WinZip just right-click on the file and select Open with WinZip.
