  • Oh and the VB6 IDE is not supported by Microsoft at all any more. – Deanna Oct 09 '12 at 12:43
  • I know there are steps to make VB6 to work on Windows7, I want to know whether its officially supported by Microsoft or not? – srajeshnkl Oct 09 '12 at 12:43

    As I said, the IDE is not officially supported anywhere any more. For support for the VB6 runtime, See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/447007/588306). – Deanna Oct 09 '12 at 12:47
  • @Deanna: Ok thanks. Sorry again.. IDE not supported means , we shouldnot develop VB6.0 applications in Windows 7 and its not officially supported right? – srajeshnkl Oct 09 '12 at 12:56

    You can do whatever you want, but there is no support from Microsoft for VB6 development at all. Have you read the linked questions and the associated support statement from Microsoft yet? They give the definitive answer. – Deanna Oct 09 '12 at 13:01
  • Yes I read it.Thanks for the links.. – srajeshnkl Oct 09 '12 at 13:03
  • @MarkJ Yeah I left that one out of the list of duplicates I gave as it was aimed more at VS6, even if most answers were for VB6 :) – Deanna Oct 09 '12 at 23:36
