Can't Register Comctl32.OCX

Hi all

When trying to use comctl32.ocx in my vb5 project I received the following
error.

"License information for this component is not found..."

I then tried to use regsvr32.exe to register the DLL but received the
following message,

"Comctl32.dll was loaded but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not
found. DLLRegisterServer may not be exported or a corrupt version of
comctl32.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect & remove it ."

I used PView to have a look if comctl32 was loaded into memory but found
nothing and I still couldn't use the control.

Next I copied the newest version of comctl32.dll & .ocx to my machine but
with the same result as above.

I then copied the old version back on and made a setup disk from another
machine that had a working version of the new comctl32 control hoping that
when I installed the setup disk on my machine the newer version of comctl32
would be copied over the old and registered.

The copy process didn't occur and I am back to square one.

Can anyone help stop a young man aging prematurely?

Thanks in advance

Can't Register Comctl32.OCX

Hi David,

I had the very same problem. There is a fix on the Microsoft site which
fixes this and other control problems. The file is called Vbc.exe. I found
it by doing a search in the Microsoft support site for Visual Basic license.
I know it's out there.

Good luck,

Jeff

Can't Register Comctl32.OCX

Hi

I had the same problem and I uninstalled then re-installed VB, hoping that
it would solve the problem and it never.

So what I did was to delete the comctl32.ocx file from the windows system
directory, then re-installed VB and it worked OK.

try it.

I had this same problem but got it fixed by installing the Visual Studio 97
Service Pack 3. There are known bugs in this Comctl32.ocx control which
this service pack fixes.

Someone told me that the problem arises when you install Internet Explorer
4.
