I know that DotNet's deployment functionality will allow very easy the
ability to add a VB6 executable and/or DLL. My question is if there is
a way that it can detect dependencies within that VB6 file? I know it
does it for DotNet code but it doesn't appear to do it for VB6.

You may need to create a merge package with the VB6 installer tool and then
include that in your dotnet deployment package.

There was talk a couple of years ago about allowing for no-touch (xcopy)
deployment of VB6 .dll files, but I don't know if that was ever incorporated
as I haven't heard anything about it for a while nor have I had a chance
to try it. The issue of detecting library dependencies would still be there.
