Downloading vb dlls in installer?
Is there a way to Download say MSVBM60.DLL from a websource or ftp source if the client machine doesnt have it at install time.

Seeing that 80-90% of Windows machines should have this DLL already, it would be bloated including it in the installer... So is there a way to download and install it remotely if its not there???
(assuming they have an Internet connection)

Or you could use InetLoad which has better firewall handling (gets through all firewalls whereas NSISdl often does not).
Also NSISdl requires IE4 or later to be installed (uses its proxy settings).

InetLoad is on: http://nsis.sf.net/archive/download.php

NSISdl does not require IE4 or above. NSISdl requires only winsock.
