How to install "Visual Studio Installer"?

I adopted an old VB6 program and now need to do few code changes, I am being have Visual Studio 6.0 and service package 6 installed, When I opened the solution file I got an error message "The application for 'xxx.wip' is not installed", so I guess this could be caused by that I missed the Visual Studio Installer.

Then I found out a "Visual Studio Installer 2" on internet, after having downloaded, the file size is around 8.52 MB and it was a Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor, I double-clicked it and exacted to a place but I got a "VSI2.cab" file.

So there have NO any install executable file after exaction, my question is how I can install Visual Studio Installer I downloaded? how Visual Studio 6.0 aware it and will able to open ".SLN" file without errors, I need copy it to specific folder by handy or even I get wrong download? if so please share the link to me.

Visual Studio Installer (the real one) is no longer available from Microsoft and VSI2.cab appears to be just part of the VSI installer package.

I have a copy that is temporarily available for download (Assuming you agree to all the original conditions from Microsoft that I can't remember here) but I still recommend using something that's built this century, maybe even this decade :)
