Description

Hi, as maintainer of a VB6 project and upcoming law in the EU (NIS2) we are obliged to have an SBoM. WOuld love to be able to integrate https://github.com/microsoft/sbom-tool (which uses the component-detection) in my build pipeline.
Any option to include that in the component-detection?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the component-detection project and the linked Microsoft sbom-tool to understand how VB6 projects would be discovered in a build pipeline. Done means component-detection can identify dependencies for a VB6 project and provide results that can be integrated with sbom-tool; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
