I am applying for a company that uses VB6. I know it was a development environment back in the 1990s. Apparently, this company still has applications that are written in VB6. Can you please let me know how I can download this software? I have tried to look on the Microsoft website and MSDN but I was not successful in finding it. Thank you.
I don't think that I would want to work for that company. They should have upgraded to VB.Net years ago when Visual Studio still had a migration tool. To me it says a lot about how they (don't) plan for the future.
The product lifecycle of Visual Basic IDE ended in 2008. Since then Microsoft no longer offers any support of it, including downloads and updates.
Can you please let me know how I can download this software?
Visual Basic 6.0 = VB6 was never free for use, therefore there is not public download available.
You/Your company have to purchase a MSDN subscription for a download.
