Short summary for and others who replied: Visual Studio 6.0 (the old VS6/VB6 era IDE) is obsolete and the IDE itself is no longer supported; Microsoft only continues limited support for the VB6 runtime on supported Windows releases. It was never a free, public download in the way modern community editions are — you need a valid license or subscription to obtain official media. (learn.microsoft.com)

If a legal copy is required for maintenance: check any active Visual Studio (MSDN) / Visual Studio subscription — older releases and product keys are available from the subscriber portal (my.visualstudio.com). If you have legitimate retail media, keep the original product key and install media; Microsoft still publishes runtime updates and Service Pack 6/rollups you should apply. Buying second‑hand boxed copies is a separate legal/transfer question and carries risk; do not rely on random file‑shares. (learn.microsoft.com)

Practical advice for working with legacy projects: run VS6 in an isolated VM (Win7/XP image) and take snapshots before you install — the IDE was 32‑bit and is unsupported on modern systems, so a VM is the safest route. Test third‑party OCX/ActiveX controls separately (many are unsupported). Avoid downloading uploads from file‑sharing sites (MegaUpload, torrents, etc.); those copies are frequently illegal and often carry malware. ’s upload attempt and ’s point about costs are both relevant — piracy is risky and the product isn’t legitimately “free.” (learn.microsoft.com)

If starting new work, move to a supported toolchain: Visual Studio Community is free for individual developers or small teams and is the recommended modern IDE for new development; consider migrating VB6 apps to .NET or rewriting modules incrementally. That approach will avoid long‑term maintenance pain and security exposure. (visualstudio.microsoft.com)

There are plenty. Just search Google for "Visual Studio 6 Free Download" I must however warn you that it will NOT be free, no matter what the link states. You will still have to register the product, which will cost you money.;)
