Steve,
3 possibilities is how I interpreted it.

1. Full Install if OEQB is not installed(it includes VB6 runtime)
2. Partial Install(Lite OEQB version) if Visual Basic 6 Runtime is already installed on your machine.
3. Executable only(a more current version that replaces the executable after 1 or 2 are installed)


If you like to do things separately,
VB6 has been out since 1999, VB6 SP6 has been since the spring of 2004. Iirc, if Sp2(Aug 2004) is installed the vb6 runtime may already be present.

If not ..Vb6 sp6 can be obtained here.

Once installed then item 2 and 3 are applicable.
