Install Arabic VB6 applications

  • Article

I still get questions about installing Arabic VB6 applications.

The problem occurs when you deploy your VB 6 application to other machines, which doesn’t have VB , VS or Office. Your application doesn’t
display RightToLeft correctly.

The cause: is that you need to have VBAME.DLL in your Windows System directory, for example, in c:\windows\system32. VBAME.DLL is the Middle East support file. So make sure that you package and deploy this file with you Arabic application.
