If you can use vmware + XPs - it is the least painful way. I have been using few 3rd party components for vb6 and had to spend more than two days until was all problems with UAC, registry, licensing etc. solved.

I agree. I'm much more a fan of "VirtualBox", but certainly running a VM and installing XP on it... then putting VS6 on the XP in the VM is the best solution to this so far.

Yeah, basically you install VirtualBox. Once you install Virtualbox, you install a different Operating system into the virtualbox. The virtualbox basically tricks the operating system into thinking it's on a full machine (the virtualbox has a bios, etc). So basically, you install VirtualBox, then you install XP in a virtualbox window (so you have a windows 7 window... inside that window is XP). Then you can run "incompatible" programs in XP in the window.

I meant:
http://www.virtualbox.org/

And truth be told, without a virtual PC it very likely isn't going to happen. One thing to remember about Microsoft, is that they want you to upgrade to their latest trash, even if it is by force.... so assimilate to .NET or perish
