How do I use VBC6.EXE?

installed on the system where the utility is going to be used. The
run-time engine is available on the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (or Visual
Studio 6.0) under the \Common\Tools\VB\Cabinets directory. The
VBRUN60.CAB contains a self extracting EXE which will installed the
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 run-time engine onto your machine.
Before running the VBC6.EXE utility, make sure there are no other
applications running.
Simply double click on VBC6.EXE through the Windows Explorer. The utility
will attempt to detect Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, and will installed the
required Licenses for the Edition detected.

VBC6.EXE also offers a silent mode. Running the VBC6.EXE from the command
with a "/q" will run the utility without any user interface. Result codes
can be captured and used by other apps to test if the Licenses were installed.
