Visual Basic 6.0 MAP File Generation
The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE does not natively support MAP file generation. To enable this, we provide a wrapper for the standard linker.
Setup Instructions:
- Download the linker wrapper archive.
- Navigate to your VB6 installation directory (typically `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98`).
- Rename the existing LINK.EXE to LINK1.EXE.
- Extract the LINK.EXE from our archive into this folder.
This wrapper intercepts the compilation command and appends the necessary flags to generate a MAP file. The source code for the wrapper is included for transparency.
Once installed, a MAP file will be generated alongside your EXE/DLL/OCX upon every compilation.
Requirement: Ensure your project is compiled to Native Code, not P-Code.
This file is only required during the protection phase. It does NOT need to be included in the program installer file.
