Nicklas, 

FWTools 0.9.9 should be distributed with the VB6 wrappers and
the installer should update the GDALCore.bas file to refer to the
installed location of gdal12.dll explicitly. 

So, C:\Program Files\FWTools0.9.9\vb6\GDALCore.bas should
have many statements like:

 Public Declare Function GDALGetDataTypeName _

    Lib "C:\Program Files\FWTools0.9.9\gdal_fw.dll" _

    Alias "_GDALGetDataTypeName at 4" _

    (ByVal DataType As Long) As Long


If you aren't using the VB6 bindings I distribute you will need
to do something similar. 

Best regards,
