I just install Windows 11 and found out the VS6.0 app I still have to support will not build. VS C++ 6.0 won't even launch. It was working fine in Windows 10.
Has anyone figured out how to run VS6 in Windows 11?

I had VS6 running on Windows 10 so I only did 1 & 2 from "Works on Windows 11" comment.
*First, msdev.exe only showed the splash screen and then disappeared. It worked after
- Renaming it to msdev1.exe (!)
- Setting compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.
- Updating the file associations to point to the renamed exe file.*
