Yes and no. Its runtime DLL is included with (essentially) all versions of Windows itself. Later C runtimes are often likely to be present, but cannot be guaranteed to be present. As an alternative to MSVC6, you can also use MinGW GCC. By default it links to the same C runtime DLL (MSVCRT.DLL) as MSVC6, but provides more standards compliance than MSVC6, and is often easier to use for building portable code.
