How to Install MSVBVM60.DLL


1. Open your Web browser and browse to a page where you can download msvbvm60.dll for free. You can find a link to a reliable download location in Resources.
2. Click the 'Download' link and save the file to your hard drive. When it finishes downloading, double-click the file to open it in your computer's unzipping utility. When this opens, click the 'Extract' button or the 'Unzip' button (varies by program) and select your computer's desktop as the file destination. This will put msvbvm60.dll on your desktop.
3. Double-click the 'My Computer' icon and navigate to the Windows system folder. The file path for this folder is different from one Windows operating system to the next. In XP and Vista for 32-bit systems, it's 'C:\Windows\System32.' In 64-bit systems, it's 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' The file path is 'C:\WINNT\System32' in Windows NT and 2000 and 'C:\Windows\System' in Windows 95, 98 and ME.
4. Click and drag the msvbvm60.dll file that you extracted to the desktop into the system folder. If a corrupted or out-of-date version of this file already exists in the folder, you may be asked whether or not you want to replace the old file with the new one. Click 'Yes' if this happens.
5. Restart your computer. Windows will not recognize the new .dll until you reboot.
