Hi Thomas,
Thank you for permission to use your instructions to tell Vista how to run a
self extracting zip file.
My winkit.zip file includes ASYCFILT.DLL COMCAT.DLL
dx8vb.dll gamemenu.BAT gamemenu.exe kitchensinc.DDF
life.exe life.txt liferecs.txt lifesave.brf
LIFESPIN.WAV LIFESTEP.WAV LIFETTL.WAV MSVBVM60.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL OLEPRO32.DLL readme.htm SAPI.DLL
SETUP.EXE Setup.Lst SETUP1.EXE ST6UNST.EXE
STDOLE2.TLB VB6STKIT.DLL so if it becomes apparent that people need other
files, I will put them up on my site for them.

Hi Jim,
In actuality I had two problems with your games under Vista, but there
is a pretty easy solution for both of them.
First, as you pointed out I had issues with the self extractor
installation of the game. To install your games you need to run them
using full admin rights. I have no problems with you posting my text
file where I explain how to do this. That was the main reason I wrote it
in the first place. (Smile)
Second, Vista does not come with DirectX support for Visual Basic 6
since Microsoft has already stopped supporting the technology. As a
result the DirectX com libraries for Visual Basic need to be copied from
a Windows XP system to the new Vista computer. If you run Vista as a XP
to Vista upgrade then you will have the files, but users buying a new
computer will have to copy them from the old XP computer to the Vista
computer.
Hope this helps.
Jim
