Network Installation of VB6

Question:
I have the VB6 Enterprise Edition which is going to be the development tool. Is it possible to have a network installation of VB6, so that I can put the VB6 installation on a server, and deploy it by just mapping to it in a NT network?

Answer:
Unfortunately, VB has to be installed on your machine. It has a lot of DLLs and other system files that have to be registered and stored locally. You can limit the installation by using the Custom installation option to only install what is required, but you can’t simply put it on the network.
