VB6 Running on Windows 8?

I've read that the you can place the msvbvm60.dll in the same folder as your Visual Basic 6 exe and it works. I have not personally verified this and not, of course, in Windows 8.

I have an utility I'm selling with 20K lines of VB6 code which only requires a drag and drop deployment with no install package. So I have an intense interest in this problem in Windows 8 as well.
