To help eliminate redundancy and unnecessary download times, the Microsoft Visual Basic v5.0 runtime files (see below) are not included with the distribution of this program. The easiest way to know if they are already on your system is to run the program. If the program launches, you know the files are already present and there is nothing more you need to do. If it does not launch, you just need to install the files to your computer.
If your computer does not have the files, they can easily be obtained from any good software archive by searching for "VB5 RUNTIME". You may also visit our web site and select the appropriate link to download the files (which are neatly packaged in a setup routine that will install the files to your system): http://www.nstarsolutions.com/ns-share.htm
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with everyone's efforts to eliminate redundant distribution of these files. While an inconvenience for the 1st time you need them, this strategy ensures you aren't wasting valuable time downloading them each and every time you obtain a program that requires them when they are already on your computer.
