eez, why do people even bother responding with 'letmegooglethatforyou'... Anyway, to answer the question.

, yes you can install Visual Studio 6.0 (or just specialized IDEs like VB6, VC++6, VFP6 or VJ++6). Follow these steps: 1. Disable UAC. 2. Insert your CD to your CD/DVD drive, and close the auto-run program that will pop in to your screen. 3. Browse your CD content and find the file SETUP.EXE; right-click it and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. 4. There might be other questions asking you if you want to proceed, just click "yes" or "allow". 5. Follow the setup instructions that will appear on your screen. 6. After the setup is complete, there might be another warning., just choose "This program has installed correctly". 7. Notice that your shortcuts are now ready, that hints you that everything have been installed. Now find your IDE shortcut (Visual Studio 6, or whatever you've just installed), then right-click the shortcut and select "Open file location" from the context menu. 8.Find your IDE executable (VS6.EXE, VB6.EXE, VC6.EXE etc); right-click it and select "Properties" from the context menu. 9. Go to "Compatibility" tab, and check the following: + Run this program in compatibility mode [Windows XP (Service Pack 3)] + Disable visual themes + Disable desktop compositions + Disable display scaling on high DPI setting (if you have a widescreen monitor) Then click "Apply" and "OK". Repeat to all other IDE executables. That's it. You now have a fully working VS6 IDE running on Windows 7. Just don't forget to install their service packs. HTH,
