You can try to buy it somewhere (e.g. from Ebay or Amazon). I don't think that it can be used without problems with Windows 7. It may even fail to install. You should install it using the XP mode of Windows 7. The VS 6 service packs are no longer present on the Microsoft web sites. When buying a used version you may ask the seller if he still has the service packs. The service packs are not related to the OS version where VS 6 is installed but contain fixes for VS 6 itself.

I successfully installed VS6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine a few years back. The only trouble I ran into was with MDAC, since Windows 7 had a newer version. Make sure to install it as Administrator.
