We're approaching a point of replacing several of our developer PCs and would like to move up to 64-bit to maximize the hardware/life of the PCs but we also need to support several legacy VB6 applications. That said, Microsoft says it's not supported, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work. However, support's not important on a dead tool so long as it's functional.

  • Does it work?
  • Are there any pitfalls/workarounds needed to get it running?
  • Does the installation of Service Pack 6 require any special considerations? (SP6 is basically essential for VB6 use)

Speaking from experience (I run VB6 almost every day in Windows 7 - 64 bit), there is no problem getting it running, in fact you do not have to run it in any kind of compatability mode. There are a couple of Caveats though:

  1. Use the installer from a recent (within 5 years) version of the MSDN.
  2. Install VB6 before installing any other Visual Studio product.
  3. Turn off UAC, VB6 will not run with UAC running.
  4. I have not successfully gotten the old MSDN Help Installed, so I wouldn't bother wasting time trying to get that installed.

Folks on the VB6 newsgroup report they have managed to get it working on Windows 7 64 bit.

There's this step-by-step guide on how to install the IDE on Windows 7 (including 64 bit).

If that doesn't work (scrapes barrel) try this old tip about persuading the install not to install the Java VM?

Or (scrapes hole in barrel) these tips from an article about getting the IDE working on Vista?

Footnote: if developing with ADO, be aware of this.

Not sure about 64 bit, but I recently had to install the VB 6 IDE on Windows 7 (32 bit) and couldn't get the installer to run. I ended up using Windows XP Compatibility Mode (essentially a virtual pc) and was able to install and use VB 6 on the virtual image. It was a bit of a pain to configure, but once I got it working it ran fine.

Try following the advice here:http://sahilp.in/install-visual-basic-6-vb6-on-windows-7-windows-8/

I have Windows 7 64 bit and installed as per advice and no problems. The MSDN Help files also installed under win7X64.

An alternative option for windows 7 or Windows 8 is to create a Virtual Machine using Hyper-V Manager, install Windows XP, Visual Studio 6, etc. Then remote desktop to your virtual machine and you're good to go.

64bit

Also, when Windows 9, 10 and 11 arrive, your virtual machine can be transferred over to them or to a new PC all without breaking your VB6 development environment.

I'm told that 64 bit is not a problem but it doesn't like Windows Vista and up.

If you really need it on 64 bit Windows Server 2003 x64 should work.

To install the old MSDN for VB6, just run setupX86.exe (in the root of MSDN disc 1), instead of setup.exe. First finish the VB6 setup without installing MSDN, then install MSDN separately. Once it's installed, VB6 will automatically recognize and use it.

Disclaimer: I've been using the January 2000 MSDN 3-disc set with VB6 since .. January 2000, and my original 1998 MSDN disc for VB6 is long gone. But I believe the issue and solution are the same.

I installed VB in Windows Seven 64bits a few minutes ago. I try to describe the steps that I found in a spanish site:

1 - Copy entire CD of Visual Studio 6/ Visual Basic 6 to a new folder (Ex. C:VSInst) in a hard drive.

2 - Copy the contents of C:VSInstSetup to C:VSInst

Java Win7 64 Bit Download

3 - Rename file vs98pro.stf or vs98ent.stf or similar to 'acmsetup.stf'. The 'vs' in the file name is for 'Visual Studio', 'vb' is for 'Visual Basic', 'pro' for 'Proffesional Edition', 'ent' for 'Enterprise Edition'. Look for a file similar to the examples and rename it to 'acmsetup.stf'

Visual Basic 64 Bit

4 - Execute as an administrator account the 'acmsetup.exe' file.

The short explanation is that the setup.exe is compiled as 16bits and is not possible to execute. The acmsetup.exe is compiled in 32bits and this can be executed.

This steps and explanation was taken from (in spanish): http://www.jorgeoyhenard.com/instalar-visual-basic-6-en-windows-7/2241/
