Extract the project's files to a single directory. Before you attempt to load the code, make sure that you have the Microsoft Scripting Runtime file (Scrrun.dll) installed on your system. You can obtain the scipting file from several software packages:

Visual Studio 6.0
Visual Basic 6.0
Windows Script Host (WSH)
Windows NT Option Pack 
Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0 
Scripting 3.1 upgrade

Open the project it Visual Basic, and make sure that "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" is checked and available in your project's references.

The sample requires VB 6. It is highly recommended that you install the latest service pack (SP5 or later). The code should work on VB5 with suitable replacements.
