Hello,You need to download the VB runtime files from Microsoft (www.microsoft.com, search for VB6 runtime). Please see the readme.txt or documentation for more details about this.

Hi,You mentioned you installed 'vbrun6' Can you confirm that you installed the entire Visual Basic 6 runtime redistribution pack? The OLE Automation DLL (called OLE2AUT.DLL I believe) is the one you need to make sure you have updated to avoid the error.If this is not the case, we will have to troubleshoot further. I have not yet heard of this problem after running the VB6 runtime setup, so perhaps something different is happening here? Can you tell me when exactly the error occurs? Can you issolate it to ONLINE or OFFLINE use, or during specific updates (METAR or WINDS ALOFT)? Any information you can share to help me troublehoot would help. I am sorry you are having these troubles and will do everything I can do get you running ASAP. Thanks! Please e-mail me directly at [email protected][table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...][/tr][/table
