VSMake was deprecated in version 4.0 and finally removed in 5.6+.
The best solution is to rewrite your build script to use the Make VB6/Make VC6/VS6 Get Version actions instead of VSMAKE. This method will eliminate any dependencies on the deprecated VSMAKE style of building these projects (that harkens back to Visual Build 3.x).
The Make VB6 / Make VC6 / VS6 Get Version actions are more convenient and provide bug fixes and more functionality than was available with VSMAKE. In addition, we do not provide support for VSMAKE at this time.
Several options exist to rectify the situation:
1) Uninstall version 5.6+ then reinstall Version 5.2
2) Install version 5.2, then reinstall version 5.6+. Manually define a global VSMAKE macro pointing to vsmake.exe (in the tools sub-dir)
3) install Visual Build 3, then re-install Visual Build Professional (and leave Visual Build 3 installed to preserve the VSMAKE functionality).
4) The recommended solution would instead be to convert your usage of VSMAKE to the custom actions now available (and described above).
