How to compile legacy VB6 code

Where can I find an IDE for VB6? I'm guessing I need to get a copy of Visual Studio 6, but I've been googling for hours and I can't find anything.

I need to do some simple maintenance on an old VB6 application. Upgrading it to .NET would cause lots of work on the deployment and testing side of things so I would prefer to avoid that. And I would rather not resort to notepad and command line compiler either.

Is there any better solution to my problem?

Answer 1

If converting to VB.NET is an option, you could check out Microsofts upgrade assement tool at: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=9639.

I can't believe VB6 is still alive, not too long ago I had to write an ActiveX control for use with VB6.

Legal options:

1. There are many copies of visual studio 6.0 on eBay that look legit.
2. Find someone that has VB6 and have them fix it.
3. Get an MSDN subscription (unsure which level is needed - Hans says Universal includes VB6)
