I don't have Visual Studio; I have Visual Basic Enterprise Studio Version 5. When I start it, it just displays a message about a missing class builder, but otherwise everything works fine.

As I see, Visual Studio 6 is would to install Visual J++ as well. At that time, MS was still shipping Java from Sun Microsystems, which ended in a dispute and a lawsuit that Scotty McNeal ultimately lost. That was the end of Java applets, and thus the end of Java on the desktop.
I doubt you actually have Java installed. Check it on the command line; you should see a message like this.
