RE: Getting a "working" VB6/SQL2000 application functional in Vist

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Brad,

Since the error is a generic one, I can only give some general suggestion
on how to troubleshoot this:

1) It seems this is a VB6 ActiveX DLL; make sure you used VB6 with latest
service pack (6) to compile it; Vista should have already built-in support
for the VB6 runtime. If you have several VB6 components and only this one
failed to register, maybe there're some specicial requirements of this one.

2) Try to use Process Monitor
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/processesandthreads/processmo
nitor.mspx) to monitor why regsvr32.exe failed to register the component.
There might be some registry or file access error when registering.

3) If this component doesn't depend on other files other than the VB6
runtime (this includes it also doesn't use other ActiveX components), would
you please send me a copy of the component (binary) and I will try to
verify the behavior on my side.
