Does Windows 8 RTM Support VB6 (SP6) Runtime files? If so, which ones?
- by user51047
Basically, I'm trying to find out which of the following files come packaged with the Windows 8 RTM (that is, the final version). Just to be clear, we're not wanting to know if any of the runtime files (listed below) are or were included with any of the previous versions (Beta, CTP, RS etc) or releases of Windows 8 - we are just interested in this compatibility question as far as Windows 8 RTM (Final Version) is concerned.
In addition, if possible, we would also like to know which of the below files (if any) come shipped and registered with the Windows 8 RT (on ARM) version. As far as the ARM version is concerned, you're welcome to base your answer on the latest version of Windows 8 RT (on ARM) that is available at the date and time your answer is posted. (This will also serve to future-proof this question as additional releases or versions of Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT on ARM come out).
Here are the list of files (which are basically the VB6 SP6 runtime files):
File name Version Size
Asycfilt.dll 2.40.4275.1 144 KB (147,728 bytes)
Comcat.dll 4.71.1460.1 21.7 KB (22,288 bytes)
Msvbvm60.dll 6.0.97.82 1.32 MB (1,386,496 bytes)
Oleaut32.dll 2.40.4275.1 584 KB (598,288 bytes)
Olepro32.dll 5.0.4275.1 160 KB (164,112 bytes)
Stdole2.tlb 2.40.4275.1 17.5 KB (17,920 bytes)
Of course, the most important file in there is MSVBVM60.DLL, so if you cannot provide details for all files relating to both Windows Releases, then basing the answer on as many of the files possible would also be useful.
Thank you for reading and for your anticipated assistance in putting this question/answer on record.
