Thanks! - Whops, but they moved it! I spent the last 10 minutes banging at MS's own search engine on their own site looking for "Visual studio 6 service pack 6" and "Visual studio 6 SP6" and other variations (without the quotes) and you think I could FIND it?? ACK! Sp5, and the Sp6 readme(s), Sp6 for VB6 (not C++ which I'm looking for, or the full thing!) argh.. amazing that either of the two stated search terms above don't have the link in the top ONE or TWO results!
