To Keep the download size to a minimum, the Core Design Tools do not contain the Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime files. They are required to run the program, but most PC's already have them installed.

If you're not sure, you can download and run the File Checker. The File Checker is a VB Script that will look to see if the required files are installed on your PC.

If you do not have the Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime installed on your PC, you can download the newest version, that supports all version of windows, directly from Micorsoft.com ( see link below)

*** All Programs are scanned with the most current virus protection software before release. The File Checker Program is a VB Script, and is sometimes identified as a Virus. If you are unsure about a programs integrity, please scan for viruses on you PC prior to installing, or have your system administrator verify the File Checker Script before running.***
