Hi

I have an Acitve DLL written in VB6, now I am planning to integrate it to my
VB.NET 2003 app via interop, it works OK,
the question is
Do I need to install VB6 runtime for the InterOp COM for the VB.NET apps
separately, or VB.NET app setup project will take care of all the necessary
runtime for the interOp VB6 COM?

Thanks
Nelson Wu

Yes, you would still need all the dependencies normally required for your VB 6.0 COM DLL. The
interop assembly only provides the communication mechanism between managed and unmanaged code.
