I only tried to install Visual basic but getting the error.
I am using an application(Eg.App1) which requires Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.dll file.
If you are referring to the links already mentioned, then that is NOT Visual
Basic. As previously mentioned, it is an ADD-IN or ADD-ON for Visual Basic.
You must have Visual Basic installed to be able to install the PowerPacks.
As you do not appear to be using Visual Basic .NET and don't want to then
your thread is actually off-topic here.
As to how to get that DLL without going through installations, you can try
some download sites. As usual, there are some inherent risks in downloading
and using files from unknown sites. I suspect that you have already explored
some of these and checked them at VirusTotal.
Another alternative is to install am older version of Visual Basic - such as
VB 2008 Express - then install the PowerPacks from the earlier MS link(s).
Grab the needed DLL from the installation folders, and then uninstall
Visual Basic.

Your Subject appears wrong and misleading. You can;t be trying to install
version 3 of Visual Basic. You appear to be getting an error during the
installation of the Visual Basic Power Packs. I assume this is NOT while
trying to install the old free-standing add-ins. So provide details:
What version of Windows are you using?
What version (highest) of .NET is installed?
What version of Visual Studio or Visual Basic/.NET is installed or is being
installed?

Hello,
The Powerpack library is not supported since Visual Studio 2015.
You could try version 10
(will perform a download) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=145727&clcid=0x804
Also if you read through the following and the link on that page there seems to be no problem with installation, only with adding to the toolbox.

You still haven't answered part of my earlier reply:
What version of Visual Studio or Visual Basic is installed or is being
installed?
The Power Pack is/was for use with Visual Basic .NET installed as part of
Visual Studio. It was originally a separate download and install, but was
later integrated into Visual Studio.
The separate downloads were intended for use with much earlier versions
of Visual Basic/.NET. e.g. - 2008, etc. where it wasn't already included
as a namespace/reference/feature. Around the time of VS 2010 it was
incorporated into VS so a separate download was no longer needed. It
was originally intended to aid in migrations from VB6 to VB .NET.
So the version(s) you are using is a critical factor in determining how
you should proceed.
Without having done any separate downloads or installs, if I open the
Reference Manager in Visual Studio 2017 for a VB WinForms project using
.NET 4.72, the Assembly may be found under Extensions and selected (checked):

hai wayne,
I only tried to install Visual basic but getting the error.
I haven't installed visual studio because I don't want it.
I am using an application(Eg.App1) which requires Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.dll file.
So what can I do now?
