That is the main VB6 runtime. If you are distributing a compiled VB6 program you must "package" it with at least the Package and Deployment" Wizard to include all required OCXs and DLLs into a Setup Package. The PC's on which the DLL is not found must have never had a VB6 application installed on them.

There is nothing to be "fixed"

You are recieving this error because the configuration(software & os) of the PCs are different.

This file MSVBVM60.dll - Microsoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine needs to be on every machine that runs a VB app.

You're not receiving this error on some machine because either they're running a later OS or service pack in which the dll was included by default or because the machines that don't give the error have had some software installed that has already installed this file.

In any case you'll need to install this, and probably a few other files depending on your app, on any machine that will use your app.

you can copy it manually to the target machine and register it with this run from the run menu:

regsvr32 path&filename

this will allow the machine to use msvbvm60 but will by no means replace the need to deploy your app with installation software like Package & Deployment Wizard.
