You should probably try running it inside Wine if you really want to have VB. According to Wine's AppDB, VB 6 should work fine (that page also has instructions that you can follow for setting everything up): http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1325 This applies to all windows applications that you might want to run on MeeGo. Only works for x86-based machines, because "Wine Is Not an Emulator" :) Alternatively, if Wine does not work out for you, you could install XP inside a VirtualBox VM and into that, VB as you would normally do.
