PIA for scrrun.dll?

[Mark Hurd]

I'm using Scripting.Dictionary in a VB6 interface that will be needed for a
while yet, so I'm looking for a PIA for scrrun.dll (specifically the
Scripting type library, not necessarily the FileSystemObject or the RegEx
libraries) so that I can make my interface-defining interop assembly
primary.

Is there one?

Can someone point me to a web page, newsgroup item, or blog entry describing
Microsoft's policy on producing non-Office PIAs?

PS IIRC Dictionary was supposedly a feature of VB6, even though it was
supplied in the scripting runtime.

Hi,

You dont need a pia for scripting type library. Just add a
reference to scripting type library in the com tab. The hashtable is a dot
net dictonary.

I believe I do need the PIA:

I have (all in VB6) an app A.exe which creates an object B (from B.dll) and
expects it to implement interface I (from I.dll).
Interface I uses Dictionary as a "property bag".

I want to create a new .NET version of B, and I wanted to create a PIA for
I.dll. PIAs can only reference other PIAs.

Also, I'm only using the SDK.
