I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this. It appears that Visual Studio 6 won’t be supported, but I’m only concerned with the runtime. We have some legacy apps that we’d rather not rewrite, but our customers will expect them to run on Windows 7.
If anyone can provide a link to something official from MS on the topic, that would be very helpful.
YES! Official support statement:
I don’t know when it was changed, because it didn’t say that a couple of weeks ago, but it does now. Hoorah!
As VonC pointed out in his answer, the IDE is not supported any more, which is a worry if you want to maintain and update your VB6 code.
People have been using the IDE on Vista with a few tweaks. And if necessary it will always be possible to run it in a virtual machine.
