Not as it currently stands. I have no need for Windows in most of my life so I don't have any Windows machines I'd be willing to make this and test it on (I don't think I have any that even have the docker subsystem available). And even after that - I'd have even less inclination to maintain.
I also don't know enough about the Windows docker subsystem and what it allows you to do. Aaand I also don't know what compatibility issues are lurking between Visual Studio 6 and Windows 10.. VS6 was 1998 - that's 19 years of gap for Windows to introduce incompatibilities in!
I'd be much more comfortable if someone takes inspiration from my methods and dockerfiles and makes their own repo for doing it on Windows, to be honest. I don't want to be seen as the maintainer of something that I have no interest in trying to keep working - I'd just end up disappointing a lot of people if I did!
Sorry that I'm not of more use!

Hey no problem, and thanks for the honesty. I unfortunately still need to use VB6 at my day job and had the inspiration today to search for a VB6 docker image. Thanks for doing a start - you've given me enough to go on to try it for myself. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a question or two as I go along since I do not know docker at all, but I really appreciate the head-start! 🍬 👍

Oh wow - I'm sorry that you're in that horrible situation!
I will help however I can, but I don't really know anything about how the windowsservercore image works (or the other ones, I know there's one called nanoserver or something?) - so I'll only be of very limited use.
I wish you the best of luck in your frightening endeavour!

I will try it with the wine image first - who knows, maybe I don't need it on windows anyway - can you install com components on win? I assume yes 🤞
Also, is there any way to run the IDE once this is up and running, or is it just meant for building?
from docker-vb6.
Yeah, COM components AFAIK are just registry entries and DLLs and such - Wine should let you install them.
As for running the IDE, yeah, it should be possible if a bit arcane. The image that it builds is meant for building stuff, but I never actually got around to implementing a default command to do so.
I remember that I had to get a GUI working so I could debug the image build process, but I forget how. I think it was probably by starting an SSH server on the docker image, exposing the SSH port to my host and then tunnelling X over SSH with ssh -Y.
