There's many errors here

1 - VB6 was always rubbish, and has been obsolete and unsupported for a decade. I can't imagine any intelligent reason for anyone to use it today beyond being stuck with legacy code

2 - because Windows7 is new, and security is the big new feature, I bet they are not bothering to try to make their new OS work with APIs in an obsolete and unsupported language.
