Martin,

What errors? What happens?

Why did you have to do that?
"Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Library" is in the XPe Repository.

A couple of hints (one of them may help):

 - Add "Dos Windows on Windows Support" component.

 - Use Dependency Walker (don't forget to turn on Profiling) to analyze all the application (setup in first) static and dynamic
dependencies

 - Use Regmon/Filemon (www.sysinternals.com) to monitor the installation to see what's missing from your runtime

 - Use tools like InCtrl5 or better RegSnap to capture all registry entries from the installation on XP Pro. then include all the
registry required to your image.

  - Test the installation on XPProEmulation.slx huge image (virtually any software component from XPE Repository). You can find it
on www.xpefiles.com (Development Utilities/Main)
