Overview

This is a very specific project created to assist developers who want to publish their Visual Basic 6.0 applications, which still demand periodic updates/implementations, through the MSIX format. This project helps to automate the Visual Basic 6.0 packaging by generating a virtual registry file to be added on the VB6 MSIX package with the components (OCXs and DLLs) used by the VB6 application.

Features

The tool VB6RegistryTool creates the virtual registry of the application components through a single command line, allowing to automate and simplify the packaging of VB6 applications for MSIX.

What's new

Some companies still having legacy applications, like Visual Basic 6.0, that still working well and that don\'t require modifications. Some of them no longer have the source code of those VB6 applications. For this scenario, the MSIX Packaging Tool is very effective for packaging the VB6 application to the MSIX format which simplifies the installation of those applications by removing the need for administrative rights for installing or registering components. But there are also companies that still have applications developed in Visual Basic 6.0 that are often updated. Unlike other applications, when a VB6 application is modified, in certain situations, the CLSID of its components can be changed during the new build. For this specific scenario, due to the amount of builds and deployments, having to manually perform the entire packaging process to ensure that the virtual registry keys are updated is time consuming.
