Just tried to install some application written seems in VB, setup fails, and
I decided not to install.
I tracked installation with InCtrl5 utility (Registry and Windows),
installation report show the following keys and files was added, amongst
other stuff:
Values added: 2

well, registry is best left untouched.
From this 6 files added,I noticed the last one,
c:\windows\system32\vb6stkit.dll have original date [ Date: 3.26.1999
12:00 AM ] => so it not been added, seems?
