Is there any way to directly download Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0? and would getting Visual Basic 6.0 add both comctl32.dll and comctl32.ocx ? Thanks.

    Hello @Callahan Norman You can download the VB 6.0 SP6 Cumulative Update directly from the Microsoft Download Center - https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=7030 You'll additionally need to add the comctl32.ocx separately. To do this, download the VB 6.0 Common Controls package from here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10019 Once downloaded, instead of running the setup, extract the Comctl32.ocx file from the downloaded package. For 32-bit Windows systems, extract the OCX file to C:\Windows\System32 location and register the file using a command like regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx If the Answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.
