[RESOLVED] How to Install VB6 sucessfulli in Windows 7

[RayComp]

Maybe this was asked before. I bought a new laptop pre-loaded with Windows 7 Ultimate And when trying to install VB6 i get messages saying that VB6 have known compatibilty issues.

Searching the site it seems that many members are using VB6 with Win7. Any advise on how to properly install in Windows7 or a link that explain the issue will be appreciated.

Update:

I discovered that the VB6 IDE will not function correctly with Windows7 SP1. It compiles an app that gives automation errors on XP machines. You must uninstall SP1. Unfortunately, my Windows7 PC came with SP1 pre-installed so it can't be removed. I will have to continue development on my old XP machine until I can convert the code to .NET.
