Important Instructions for Win Convert Express 2.0

¨ Visual Basic Runtime

Win Convert Express was written in Visual Basic 6.0.  It therefore requires that the Visual Basic runtime libraries be installed before attempting to install Win Convert Express.  These libraries are not provided with Win Convert Express for several reasons.  One being some users may already have the Visual Basic runtime libraries on their machines.  By not including these file users do not have to download the extra one megabyte in file size that the Visual Basic runtime libraries would require.  Another reason is that these runtimes are readily available from various FTP sites where the most recent versions can be found.

For more information, check out the Microsoft Knowledge Base article.  You can also download the VB6 Runtime files from this page.
