interop

I want to make a change to a VB6 app which consists of a .EXE, no VB6 DLLs but a handful of .NET DLLs.

The interop is achieved by a one of the .NET dlls being referenced by the VB6 app which seems to require REGASM-ing of an associated .tlb file.

If I want to change only the VB6 app .exe, could I just compile it and drop it into the app folder on existing installations or are there going to be binding issues?
