That list is quite long, on the order of a few hundred files. Since it sounds like you never created installers for these applications, you're only real recourse is to reinstall Visual Studio 6. If you had created installers for these apps, you would just have to reinstall the apps, or run a Repair on .MSI installers, to replace the missing files.

Hir mdrizwan_1, In my opinion VB6 apps need a runtime check http://www.chip.de/downloads/Visual-Basic-6-Runtime-Module\_12993706.html this site and download the dll. Put it in the same directory as the app (Maybe you could put in the windows directory(for a global solution) but i don't know) I hope i am right and don't write something wrong

Firstly be aware that I have never used VB6. However, all previous versions of VB (v2.0 - v4.0) that I have used, required the run-time redistribution pack to be loaded on machines using apps written in VB. Therefore you might want to look at Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Redistributable[^] page on MSDN. If I am way off base, please ignore this. :)

If you are still using VB4 you are a little off base, otherwise all is fine. :-D

Well, if the installer was written correctly, it should already have all the components it needs to run the app inside the installer. They should all be installed with the application. The only thing that would not be included would be the VB6 runtime. That's installed seperately.

Not still using, although I still have the Disks for VB3.0 lying about somewhere in a glass case labelled "In case of emergency, throw away" :-D
