Installing the VB6 IDE on Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) I'm posting this summary here, as nobody seems to be able to find my Tutorial (in the Tutorials forum). I have installed the VB6 IDE at least half-a-dozen times over the last couple of years, and I just never have any of the problems that people discuss.
