Creating a good compiler is a very difficult thing to do.

Then you'll want a good IDE, supporting libraries, and associated development tools - though for tools you might borrow stuff already provided by the Windows SDK (resource compiler, linker, etc.). Still, a huge effort.

It has been attempted quite a few times, so there are a bunch of open and closed source, free and for-pay Basic compilers out there for Windows. Successful? Well, we're here talking about VB6 so I'd say not successful enough.
