I have heard horror stories. FIrst try installing it in compatibility mode.
(right click the installer>properties>compatibility>Chose older OS

The in your computer supports virtual XP mode that is a workaround

These two threads should help.

Install VB6 on Windows 7

VB6 on Windows 7 64-bit

(In the 2nd link, look at the response from Rothstein)

Make sure you go through the comments on both pages.

ok to reply to both posts i have done both as stated ,
i got to task manager and it says in the (middle) of installing the programmer..
PROGRAME NOT RESPONDING... so there must be a way of doing some how

and mine is 32 bit and i have no discs :) its a clean downlaod i have serial and i can get as far as its going to run but then it says what i have written already

Well, if it doesnt work you need to either use XP mode or switch to a newer product like Visual studio 2008 or visual studio 2010 etc.
