Version 6.0 (codenamed Aspen, after the ski resort in Colorado), was released in June 1998 and is the last version to run on the Windows 9x platform.
Each version of each language in part also settled to v6.0, including
Visual J++ which was prior v1.1, and Visual InterDev at the 1st release.
The v6 edition of Microsoft was the core environment for the next four
releases to provide programmers with an integrated look-alike platform.
This led Microsoft to transition the development on the platform
independent .NET Framework.
Visual Studio 6.0 did not include Visual J++, which Microsoft removed as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems that required Microsoft Internet Explorer to not provide support for the Java Virtual Machine Environment.
Visual Studio 6.0 came in two editions: Professional and Enterprise. The Enterprise edition contained extra features not found in Professional edition, including:
Application Performance Explorer
Automation Manager
Microsoft Visual Modeler
RemAuto Connection Manager
Visual Studio Analyzer
The product was released 1998-06.

Additional Comments
Visual Studio 6.0 Standard
After install all I need to do is go to "Options" and disable "Automatically sort window menu" and enable "Use screen reader compatible menus". But need to go to Options without using menu navigation. So just simple Alt+"T" -> "O".
After winetricks step start "winecfg" tool and select "Windows 98" from Windows Version Listbox. Press "Apply" button. Press "Ok" button.
After the installation is finished, change the Windows version back to default (Windows XP).
Installing with Wine Windows versions set to NT4/2K/XP
Because bug 5322 will probably stand a long time, I present another method.
1.) Save the following snippet to a text file, for example "vc6-installer-fix":
set $x=0x410000
set $end=0x420000
while(*++$x != 0x07B0B18B && $x < $end)
end
if $x != $end
set *(int*) $x = 0x5BC0335E
set *(int*)($x+4) = 0x900004C2
end
cont
2.) run the following command, assuming you saved the snippet to "vc6-installer-fix":
$ winedbg --gdb setup.exe < vc6-installer-fix
NOTE: If the installer spawns a sub-installer that crashes due to this bug, you must first run the main installer and then attach to sub-installer with debugger.
This can be done in automated way (assuming the main installer has already started sub-installer):
It tells winedbg to query process ids, filters out the target process, converts the PID to decimal and then starts winedbg in gdb proxy mode, attaching to target process and executing patch script.
This should work for all VC6 installers and even Embedded Visual C++ 4.x ones.
What does it do?
Basically it starts the installer under control of a debugger and the works around bug 5322 by in-memory patching execution flow.
NOTE: This method is not recommended for the average user!

Never run wine as root (su, sudo)! Wine doesn't require to be run as root!
You will screw your WINEPREFIX and possibly other things up. If you have run Wine as root you need to:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.wine
and then run winecfg to set Wine folder structure back up. If you used winetricks script as root you might also need to:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/winetrickscache
Again: Just run wine as regular user and all should be fine.

MSDN Installation
by Long Haul on Monday March 11th 2013, 17:07
Install MSDN on the VS6 wineprefix. When the installation program finish, copy hhctrl.ocx from Windows XP to your wineprefix system32 directory. Override hhctrl.ocx with "native,builtin", then MSDN will run normally. To enable the index, install ie7 using winetricks & copy itircl.dll from Windows XP to your wineprefix system32 directory.
