What you'll first need to do is create a download folder on your computer. Then click the link to start the download. When prompted by Visual Basic Runtime Files to do so, choose "Save this program to disk" and click "OK." Then choose the folder you just created on your PC. Run the file from the download folder and, when prompted, select the same folder. The contents of the Visual Basic Runtime Files .EXE file in this folder should open. Also note that this file won't install if your PC is in compatibility mode.

Although the setup process may be tedious, Visual Basic Runtime Files is an essential library of components that assist in running Visual Basic.
