I'm working on a Vista workstation purely out of stubbornness. Not that I like it, but it's what IT put on the machine when I arrived, and I'm determined to make it work somehow.

We have been distributing OleAut32.dll and olepro32.dll (and other DLLs that are in the VB6 Runtime package) for many years now but Windows 7 has a newer version of those.
