Follow you so far...

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  There is no way in RETS to get every
photo in the MLS.  There is a way to get every photo for the MLS for a
specific property though.  I'm going to assume you mean that.

It comes down to, you are using AddAllObject wrong.  You're passing the line
from a URL, but in this case you're dealing with an API, not a web browser.

To retrieve all objects for a property, you probably want something like:
  Dim objRequest As librets.GetObjectRequest
  objRequest.AddAllObjects("1234567")
  objRequest.SetLocation(true)

What you have above is only asking for images 0 and 1 (which could be the same
image, depending on the RETS server.)  That code would be something like:
  Dim objRequest As librets.GetObjectRequest
  objRequest.AddObject("1234567", 0)
  objRequest.AddObject("1234567", 1)
  objRequest.SetLocation(true)
