Not true. It must always run as admin or else it can cause registry problems. During its use the VB6 IDE and compiler register referenced components and new components you create. Running w/o elevation lots of junky virtualized registry entries get made and the resulting programs can have issues. The IDE also needs the Debugger right when working with DCOM components.
Back in 2006 during the "Longhorn" developer info transfers and Vista beta programs Microsoft made all of that very clear. The main issue was the removal of the "Power User" security role from Windows. In XP and Win2K VB6 developers needed to be Power Users, though Joe Homeboy tended to just run logged on with an admin account.
Just run it elevated and avoid "mysterious" problems.
