Ye Olde VB6 project: how to recover it?

I have to debug an old VB6 project, and I can't manage to open the .vbp file with Visual Studio (even with the help found in some topics)...

My question is simple: how can I do that nowadays?

I'm using VS 2010

You will need to use Visual Studio 2008 to upgrade the VB6 project, and then you can open the upgraded project with 2010.

Be aware that the VB6 project needs to be in a compileable state, and that even so the new project will probably not compile once you are done.

Also be aware that there will likely be some limitations on even a successful upgrade -- ie it almost certainly won't compile for 64 bit systems.
