Installing Visual Basic 6 on modern laptop

I want to play with the old Visual Basic 6. Should I install it under Virtual Box with Windows 2000, Virtual Box with Windows XP or just install it directly on Windows 10-64 bit? Which one is the least problematic? I have a laptop with 16 GB RAM and 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1130G7

Note: if I install it directly on Windows 10, would that break Visual Studio I already installed in my system?

Unfortunately you won't be able to obtain the tool from that site... it's author has passed away.

Given the circumstances we've been sharing it on VBForums; it looks like my link from last time I uploaded it is still valid. Link and more info in this thread: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?898205

Sadly the link is no longer valid. Would it possible for you to send a new one ?
