About Comctl32 ocx windows 7
Feb 1st, 2023, 11:31 PM #1 Thread Starter Fanatic Member Thread Starter--> [RESOLVED] MSComctl32 and ComCtl32.ocx OMG.. I hate this stuff. I know I know... use the common controls replacement project. But for whatever reason I can't get it to work.Meanwhile... I'm installing VB6 on a new machine and load up my project and get tons of errors. Line 5: Could not create reference: '{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.2#0'.Line 14: Could not create reference: '{6B7E6392-850A-101B-AFC0-4210102A8DA7}#1.5#0'.Line 3294: Class ComctlLib.Slider of control Slider was not a loaded control class.It looks like this part of the error on line 5 - #2.2 Should be #2.0 on the new machine. But this doesn't seem to fully fix things. And yes this is after adding SP6. Any definitive way to sort out this MsComCtl32 stuff (other than the replacement common controls project)?

On my system (isn't it on everybody's?) it's also in my System folder. And it still copies it there? Might this be just a Sandboxie glitch? klup45 Posts: 2 Joined: Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:07 pm Re: SterJo Wireless Password #6 Post by klup45 » Tue Apr 02, 2013 2:24 am comctl32.ocx is VB runtime file from Microsoft. Mostly systems have this file into system folder to run some older applications. The software requires this to run properly like all other freewares from this developer. If you don't have it into your System32 folder then it will be copied and self-registered by the program, but it is a normal and safe don't worry.

Although I think there are portable apps that can use .ocx files like this without moving them into the System folder first.I tried to delete that file from the app's directory, and it worked fine, because I already had that file in my System folder (put there by another app, maybe). So, for me, this app (like all SterJo apps) is a keeper. klup45 Posts: 2 Joined: Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:07 pm Re: SterJo
