And I suppose that a VB6 app will run without installing the VB6 runtimes.

Actually, yes, unless of course you're trying to
run it on a Win98 machine that's been kept in the
closet for the past several years. It will run on all
Windows versions from Win95 up, almost certainly
without needing to install the VB6 runtime.

I doubt that Windows 95 included the VB6 runtime, because it has been released some years before VB6 has been released. However, some newer versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows Vista, ...) include the VB6 runtime.
