According to microsoft "the common directory and installation setting for Visual Studio can become *damaged*". Whatever the hell that means. <g> Anyway you need to "refresh the common directory". The only thing they suggest is to re-install Visual Studio before re-installing the SP. Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Select the Install/Uninstall tab. Select Visual Studio xx Select Add/Remove. VS/VB Setup starts, select Reinstall Microsoft talks about this as repairing "Visual Studio 6". "Visual Basic 6" is never mentioned. <g> I know it works for Visual Studio Enterprise. Only because we tried it out of pure desperation - before we talked to MS Support. Don't know if it works for the VB6 stand-alone package. But no reason to assume that it won't. Please let me know if it works for you. -ralph

VB6 is installed on Windows 7 64-Bit Well, there is half the problem. Taking advice from a site Bill McCarthy put together is bound to fail. He is no friend of this community.
