My problem is that the company that produced VB-PowerWrap (Moonlight
Software) seems to have gone out of business. So when I had to replace
my hard drive I could not contact them with a new computer "fingerprint"
to get a new "key" to enable the VB-PowerWrap to run.

Does anyone else use VB-PowerWrap? If so, how are they handling this
problem?

If you want to keep using PowerWrap, you'll have to resort to methods of
questionable legality that are (strictly speaking) off-topic here.

Can anyone suggest another program that would do the same or a
similar job--enable my VB6 program to run without actual installation on
a computer. Is there any other solution to distributing my program to my
students and letting them put projects using my program onto CDs and run
without installation?

You could try FreeBASIC, which is (sort of) a superset of QuickBASIC (fairly
similar to VB), and (importantly) free:
