    You can't. Simple as that. VB6 is unsupported, and Microsoft have abandoned it. It is an orphan language. You need to download VB.Net, the express edition is free.

      You would need to have a subscription to MSDN Library as a minimum. Then you would login to Subscription Services and download the October 2001 library ISO and install it to your computer. I am sure that is the last one that supported VB6 (i would have to dig out my old discs, as i remember writing it on it as a reminder to keep), and also see they have retained it online (just logged in to check) Then in IDE you can then set the October 2001 library as the help files.......

        Alternatively, OP could go for a more up to date language. In fact the last release of COBOL (2002) is more up to date then VB6 (1998)

              Forget VB6.0. Download Visual Studio 2010 from microsoft[^].

                The best way to that I am aware of is to go the msdn website to get all Visual Studio 6.0 related references. As to actually downloading it I am unaware of doing it unless you are able to obtain the msdn cd from someone. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950417.aspx[^]

                  Hi Dalek, I don't mean to be nit picky, but "VB6 is unsupported" is not entirely true. Please go to the following article posted by Microsoft that they are willing to support it to a certain extent. The article goes in depth as to what that extent is. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms788708.aspx[^] Cheers.
