I want to install Visual Basic 6.0. And I have no idea how

I tried a Microsoft link but it said ''You need to install X first''

I tried other sites but I couldn't get any further after I got an installation folder of some kind.

I would appreciate some help.

    Assuming that you meant the VB 6 IDE, it has been out of support for 17 years. You should install the latest free Visual Studio Community and write your code in VB .Net.

    https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

    See this link.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-basic-6/visual-basic-6-support-policy

    The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE support lifetime

    VB6 development is no longer supported. This support statement does not change the support policy for the Visual Basic IDE. The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE and Visual Studio 6.0 IDE are no longer supported as of April 8, 2008. Because there is no supported method to create or maintain Visual Basic 6 applications, Microsoft strongly recommends that you replace your applications with modern technology.

    我在win10x64bit/win11x64bit,都成功安装了 vb6sp6;在网上找个安装包安装就可以了,先安装原始的 vb6,然后依次安装sp6各个不同时期的补丁,安装的时候别选数据库组件,否则有点问题,其实不选择安装,系统也会安装
