What Service Pack is being used

Is there any way I can tell what VB6 Service Pack has been installed on my PC?

Hi,

This should help,

Use the following steps to determine if a service pack has been installed on a particular computer:
Open the Readme.txt file that ships with the Service Pack in question.

Choose a file name from the list of updated file names in the Readme.txt file and make note of the version number.

Close the Readme.txt file.

Find the file name you chose in step 1 on your computer.

Secondary click on and choose Properties for the file.

Make note of the version number indicated in the Properties dialog box.

Close the Properties dialog and the Search dialog box.

If the version number of the file matches the version number listed in the Readme.txt file, then the Service Pack is installed on your system.

Cheers,

T.
