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

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.

October 1998 - Visual Basic 6 Debuts

Visual Basic 6.0 (Mid 1998) improved in a number of areas [7] including the ability to create web-based applications. VB6 has entered Microsoft's "non-supported phase" as of March 2008. Although the Visual Basic 6.0 development environment is no longer supported, the runtime is supported on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7.

Microsoft also signed off on the software as windows 7 compatible (no seal). Where did you get your copy?

 

[mckillwashere]

The development part is not supported but the runtime side is(thing made with it)

 

[LiquidSnak]

While there is no support for the development side, it is still a compatible application according to Microsoft's compatibility site
