yereverluvinunclebert / SteamyDock

Steamydock, an editable dock similar to Rocketdock, written in VB6. SteamyDock gets its name from the bundling of my own three dock utilities with my own self-created Steampunk icon sets, ie. SteamyDock is a dock and the icons are steamy... so there you have it.

Implement automatic dependency management (MSCOMCTL.OCX and MSVBVM60.DLL not packaged). #1

mscomctl.ocx is readily available from Microsoft still at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=10019, so wouldn't automatically downloading the installer from the URI and then invoking it be a good idea, instead of having to manually register the ocx?

It works.

Also, although I manually acquired MSVBVM60.DLL from https://www.dll-files.com/msvbvm60.dll.html, is that just a problem with wine? It doesn't seem to be installed by default. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7030 seems like it might provide it. https://github.com/yereverluvinunclebert/Panzer-Earth-gauge-VB6/pull/2#issue-1782702937 is a solution.
