Visual Studio 6.0 is no longer supported by Microsoft, I think you are going to be out of luck trying to get it to run on Vista.
Have a talk to your school, they may be able to help or suggest an alternative strategy, maybe dual booting your laptop.

I'm using VS 6.0 on Vista.
I had all the same compatibility warnings on installation and every time I launched the program.
It works fine for me though. I'm only doing light programming for now as I'm still very new to it and progressing slowly.
But I haven't had any issues aside from the odd program crash...
It should be fine for you to run it. But if you want COMPLETE ASSURANCE that you won't have any issues then use something else....or go back to XP?
