How to check Visual Basic 6 Service Pack

I have Visual Basic 6 and I want to patch it to service pack 6 but:
1. I don't know which service pack I'm currently using (if any at all)
2. If I have a service pack such as 3 or 4, can I update directly to 6?

When I open VB6 and go to "Help> About Microsoft Visual Basic..." it says "Version 8176" and "VBA: Retail 6.0.8169" at the bottom.

Re: How to check Visual Basic 6 Service Pack

First, this is not a VB group. VBScript is different.
For VB try
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

When you open the "About" menu it should show
the service pack number in parentheses near the
top, like so:
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (SPx)

x is the service pack number.
You might want to consider getting SP5. There were some
bugs with SP6.

Yes. All of the SPs are cumulative.
