When installing VB6 on Windows 7 64 bit an "incompatibility problem" message
box pops up. Anybody know what is causing this, and whether it is anything
to worry about?

Yes, VB6 is not really compatible with Windows 7.
It will install however but you need to run it as admin occasionally
(building COM dlls, adding new references, etc)

Visual studio 6 however won't work at all, or even install correctly.

I believe that Dee is correct about Visual Studio though.

Personally I would recommend using XP Mode and installing it there:

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I've got the VS6 Enterprise edition
suite (except for FoxPro) installed on Win7 64 bit and it's fine.

3 failed installs and numerous incompatibility warnings, ending with me
having to remove files and uninstall entries manually.

Lucky yours worked :)
