fail to run Package and Deployment Wizard in vb6 under win 10

Question

hello,

I have visual basic 6 installed for many years. I wrote many programs and its working well.

I upgraded from windows 8 to windows 10 without any major problems if any.

I have windows 10 home 64 bit. My vb6 is for 32 bit version 8176 (6.0.8169)

In win 8, I used to run the tool "package and deployment wizard" to create an installer for my programs to run on other PC's. It worked fine.

But now on win 10, when I try to run the package wizard, I get error message "unexpected error number 80040154 has occurred: class not registered".

I created an empty blank project that does not contain any single object or code. I still get this error message.

I fail to understand which class is not registered. Looking in the internet someone wrote it might be PDWIZARD.OCX which is the package wizard itself. So I used Regsvr32.exe to register it. I got ok message, but it did not help. I tried the 32 bit and also the 64 bit folder. It did not help.

Can anyone help me to identify and fix this problem?

hello,
It seems that my vb6 installation is missing SP6. this will solve my problem.
The Microsoft page to download it is : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5721
But the page return an error : We're sorry, this download is no longer available.

So please give me a link to download your service pack 6 !!
Thank you
