VB6 Running on Windows 8?

Question

Assuming that vb6 does not run on Windows 8 because the VB6 run time libraries are not shipped with Windows 8, would it not be possible to install the VB6 run time library o

Answer 1

I think all ActiveX libraries will still working the same way they actually do under Windows 7. Remember Microsoft says Windows 8 will have a ''classic Windows mode'' (with desktop, menu bar, etc like Windows 7).

Other question is about ARM systems, I think there will be two scenarios: x86 programs will not work at all, or Microsoft will include an emulation layer for use Intel programs (at performance cost).

So Windows 8 will probably not be the deadline for VB6 and all the related software, but problems will increase for sure until the day we can't use in any way. So be prepared for virtualize and run VB6 with software like XP Mode (Virtual PC), VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.
