   Every vb6 executable needs MSVBVM60.DLL, but it could be that your   
   specific VB program also uses other libraries that are not installed.   
   You can test it by putting the DLL in the same directory and see if it   
   runs. If it's written in VB5, the DLL is called MSVBVM50.DLL. If you   
   don't have the DLLs, do a websearch for them. They are quite large.   
      
   Good luck!
