    You need to install VS 6 using an Admisitrator account/credientials. Then turn off the UAC temporarily. When installing dont install the VC++ app suite as it has issues with Vista. Install the VS SP-6 first before you run VS and you should be good to go. Note: VS 6 needs you to run the program as an Admin since it access the protected areas in the filesystem.

    Then turn off the UAC temporarily
    How would i go about doing this, and what does "UAC" stand for?

    It says i am set to administrator, and i have reinstalled and it's still giving me the same error.

    User Account Control. This thing that constantly popups asking for your approvals.

    Go to the control panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control On or Off > uncheck "Use User Account Control to help protect your computer" > click OK and accept to reboot your computer when prompted.
