Microsft visual basic 6.0

[OpenToSuggestions]

I have a programming module in C (not C++) and whilst the software is on all the uni pcs, I am wondering if Microsft visual basic 6.0 is available to download (not off a torrent etc) or buy.
I have no idea if it is part of the new office or anything??
Had a quick google and could find lots of legal downloads but think they are updates.

TIA

The introduction lecture said we are using C programming, and will use MS Visual C++ to do it. I had a go in the lab at a quick exercise but the lab isnt convenient.

EDIT: Just been on the link, which one would I want for C?? Theres one called C# is that something different.
The software I need is called 'microsoft visual C++'.

VB6 is completely different from Visual C++, VB6 was release in 1998 and AFAIK isn't even in support anymore.

As per the link above, you can get the Visual C++ express edition for free from Microsoft.
It should compile the code you create in your course, though project files etc. may well be different.

Just tried 2008, it all looks new and doesnt really coincide well with the tutorial guide I have been given. Going to try 2005 now
