SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Windowless Controls must be installed manually. Installation
of these controls is not an option in the Visual Basic / Visual Studio 6.0
setup program.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The files required for the Windowless Controls are located in the folder
Common\Tools\VB\Winless on the Visual Basic CD-ROM. This folder is located
on Disk #3 if you are installing from Visual Studio. The following files
are present in that folder:

   MSWLESS.DEP
   MSWLESS.REG
   MSWLESS.OCX
   LTWTCT98.CHI
   LTWTCT98.CHM

Step-by-Step Instructions
-------------------------

1. Locate the Common\Tools\VB\Winless folder.

2. Copy the two help files, LTWTCT98.*, to the Windows\Help folder, and the
   remaining three files to the Windows\System folder.

   -or-

   Copy all five files to the Windows\System folder.

3. Register MSWLESS.OCX by either Browsing to it in Visual Basic itself,
   or manually registering it using RegSvr32.Exe. RegSvr32.EXE can be found
   in the Common\Tools\VB\Regutils folder. The command line is:

      RegSvr32.Exe C:\Windows\System\MSWLESS.OCX

4. Register the design -ime license for the control. To do this,
   double-click the MSWLESS.REG file in Windows Explorer. This will
   merge the file into your registry. Alternatively, you can merge this
   file into your registry by running RegEdit.Exe. The command line is:

      RegEdit.Exe C:\Windows\System\MSWLESS.REG
