Hi, I belive that the problem with VB6 is that it massively depends on third party closed source ActiveX DLLs and OCXes written in C that are very unlikely to be available on Linux without Wine.
I think that there are two reasonable solutions: 1) Use genuine VB6 on Wine. 2) Convert the project to VB.NET, remove ActiveX dependencies and use Mono. In my opinion other conversions are not worth.
