Yes, it runs fine on Windows 7 (64-bit). However there are little limitations which the programmer needs to manage such as virtual folders, etc... But if you are beginning with it, don't worry too much on them.

Please note, you need to add a descriptive topic title. Having "vb6" in title is illegal according to forum rules. You might use, "Can VB6 run on Windows 7 - 64-bit".

UPDATE:

Here is a nice step by step guide to install VB6 under Windows 7 64-bit.

Alternatively, you can install VB6 on a Windows XP virtual PC or XP Mode running on Windows 7 64-bit.
