How to install Visual Basic 6 on a Windows Server 2003

Question

I'm trying to install Visual Basic 6 with Service Pack 6 obtained from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192461

But after extracting and double clicking the exe setup file nothing happens. How do I verify the VB6 installation? How to check which version is installed?

Solution

That just downloads in an installer for the runtime (not the development environment itself). And almost the first thing any installer does is check if the app is already installed. Guess what? The VB6 runtime is already part of Server 2003.
