MalwareBytes – This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found.

I went to install Malwarebytes on my desktop computer but got a weird installation error message; “mbam.exe – Unable To Locate Component.  This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.”

I tried downloading another copy of Malwarebytes and re-installing it, thinking I got a bad file, but I just got the same error.  Doing a quick google search led me to the bleepingcomputer.com forum.  I guess that error means that visual basic is damaged.  How it got damaged is beyond me, but it’s a pretty easy solution.  Be sure to uninstall Malwarebytes first.  Then all you have to do is download and install service pack 6 for visual basic 6.0.  Install Mbam again after that is finished.  *Poof*, all fixed.
