| | A new VB6RunTime.nsh header file is available for the setup of the VB6 run-time files. To obtain the latest run-time files, download [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/vb6runtime.zip vb6runtime.zip] and extract this file. |

| == NSIS 2.01 and later ==
| |
| NSIS 2.01 has a new library system that makes it easy to install files like the VB6 runtimes. This script and more information is also available in appendix B of the users manual.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Description ===
| |
| The correct version of the following files should be stored in your script folder (or modify the paths to the local files if you want to use another folder):
| |
|
| |
| *msvbvm60.dll
| |
| *oleaut32.dll
| |
| *olepro32.dll
| |
| *oleaut32.dll
| |
| *comcat.dll
| |
| *asycfilt.dll
| |
| *stdole2.tlb
| |
|
| |
| A [http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887 Microsoft article] that explains how to obtain these files is available.
| |
|
| |
| To ask the user for a reboot if required, use the Modern UI with a Finish page or use IfRebootFlag and make your own page or message box.

| You can use similar code to install common VB6 ActiveX controls (such as the controls for Windows Common Controls).
| |
|
| |
| == NSIS 2.0 and older ==
| |
| Still using NSIS 2.0? You can use the UpgradeDLl macro and a few function to install and uninstall the VB6 runtimes. Note that the NSIS 2.01 system above is recommended and provides a better and more stable installation method.
| |
|
| |
| === Description ===
| |
| The best way to install the VB6 runtimes using NSIS 2.0 is to use the [[UpgradeDLL macro]] to upgrade the DLL files and the [[AddSharedDLL function]] macro when installing the software for the first time to increment the shared DLL count.
| |
|
| |
| During the uninstallation, use the un.DecrementSharedDLL function below to decrement the shared DLL count (never remove the files, because the shared DLL count is not reliable enough for such imporant files).
| |
|
| |
| The correct version of the following files should be stored in your script folder (or modify the paths to the local files if you want to use another folder):
| |
|
| |
| *msvbvm60.dll
| |
| *oleaut32.dll
| |
| *olepro32.dll
| |
| *oleaut32.dll
| |
| *comcat.dll
| |
| *asycfilt.dll
| |
| *stdole2.tlb

| | * You may have to install additional files for such Visual Basic application to work, such as OCX files for user interface controls. |
| | * Installation of the run-time files requires Administrator or Power User privileges. Use the Multi-User header file to verify whether these privileges are available. |
| | Add a Modern UI finish page or another check (see IfRebootFlag) to allow the user to restart the computer when necessary. |
