MSVBVM50.EXE installs the following files, which ship with Visual Basic
Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3:

   FILE           VERSION
   ------------   ----------
   MSVBVM50.DLL   05.00.4319
   OLEAUT32.DLL    2.20.4118
   OLEPRO32.DLL     5.0.4118

These files are the base dependencies for any component or application
created in Visual Basic 5.0. Microsoft has made MSVBVM50.EXE available to
developers in order to minimize the size of their downloads. If these files
are the only dependencies of a Visual Basic 5.0 application, the developer
can simply distribute the executable file and this Microsoft Knowledge Base
article. Users who already have the run-time dependencies can use the
application right away; otherwise they can download MSVBVM50.EXE and
install them.

Many applications created with Visual Basic 5.0 will also require other
specific ActiveX controls or DLLs. Developers should include instructions
for obtaining those components if they are not included with their
downloads.

Controls and DLLs frequently required by applications built with Visual
Basic 5.0. See the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article for more
