Visual Basic 6 on Windows XP in Vmware

Hello I just tried to install Visual Basic 6 in a Windows XP virtual machine (Vmware) but it fails. I found the ISO for VB6 here for Download: https://winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-visual-bas/60 But when I try to install it (either mounted with Daemon Tools 4 or copied to a folder) soon I get:

Couldn't find ACME Setup

Tried different things without success.

I had it physically installed when I had a WinXP computer and did quite some programing with it. Later I kept it as a VM but I lost that vmdk a while ago ;(

Is there a way to install it easily on a virtual Windows XP machine?
