Alex,

My normal practice when trying to use FWTools with VB6 is to alter the
"starts in directory" path for VB6 icon to be the FWTools bin directory.
Did you try this? Other than copying all the contents of FWTools\bin
to C:\windows\system32 (not advised!) this was the only way I found to
ensure that FWTools stuff got picked up by the VB6 runtime.

I am thinking we should take the material currently generated from the
GDAL source tree at:

http://www.gdal.org/vb6_tutorial.html

and make this into a wiki topic, so we can updated it with information
about using VB6 with FWTools and so forth. I don't really use VB6 myself
so I'd like to empower the VB6 using folks to add information, hints, etc.
Let me know if you think this would be a good idea, and you would be
interested in adding information as you use the capabilities.

Best regards,
