Try install the latest Microsoft VM first (build 3802) from Windows Update orhttp://www.microsoft.com/java

Then you can install VS 6 Professional... that works for me...

If the above doesn't work, try what someone else suggested on a different thread. It worked perfectly for me. Create a file called:

C:\Windows\System32\autoexec.nt

and add the following into that file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
