I'll assume you purchased VB and this is your backup...in which case the original should work fine, but it doesnt sound like the you have the right disk. Nowhere in the install of VB6 does it require Java. Not unless you got some wierd copy from school or something.

Does the Help | About show the right version? I don't think it does. Here are my numbers:
Version: 8988
Retail: 6.0.8964
Forms: 2.01
I would assume that's after patching. I remember buying my CD back in 98 or 99. the CD face doesnt have any signifying versions on it. It's from CD batch X04-67087 if that helps.
Edit: Mines an Academic version I got when I was in school. But since I'm still using it to learn, and the one I use at work is for "profit". I figure I'm still ok.
