VB6 still works perfectly and will continue to do so for a long time.
It works, but that's all you can say about it.
Development and installation are a pain compared to modern solutions.
There also aren't too many developers who are willing to maintain and develop old VB6 applications, especially this one.
Besides, it works because it works for as long as it works.
If Microsoft pulls the plug, which they officially did in 2008, 15(!) years ago, this company can file for bankruptcy.
