I get the following error after closing out the install screen (because it just freezes and never moves forward):
The Visual Basic 6.0 Model failed to set up. Try re=running the Installation Wizard. For more info, blah blah blah, ww.miscrsoft.com/msdn/
Suggestions I am using XP Pro. This is the OS we use both in school and at my office where VB 6.0 is up and running.
error message when installing VB 6.0

Sounds to me like your trying to install the working model of VB6.
In any case, try turning off your anti virus programs and make sure you are part of the administrator's group. Both can stop you from being able to write to the registry. Which is what I think is stopping the install.

Are you using VB6 for a reason To maintain an old application perhaps If not, you'll find the recommendation is to skip it and move on to VB2005: the express version is a free download, and very much worth it. You can do whatever you want in VBExpress as you can in VB6 - and more!
If you need support for VB6, your best bet is to find a newsgroup specifically oriented to VB6, as this forum is designed for later versions of VB. There's a few old (long in the tooth) VB6ers around here, but we'd rather not go into that
. Let sleeping dogs lie, as they say.
