How do I clean up the VB reference list? I am talking about the
dialog that is displayed when you click the Project>References...menu
in the VB IDE. I have several entries for components I evidently
compiled to several different locations (some of which no longer
exist) during development. On Win9x and Windows 2K I used to run the M
$ utility called RegClean. This utility does not work on XP.
Can anyone tell me how to clean up the registry of these invalid
entries?
Thanks
Steve
fwiw, I use RegClean on XP/SP2. There are similar utilities out there as
well. Those "extras" are caused by compiling an activex component without
setting up and maintaining Binary Compatibility. Their physical location on
the hard drive doesn't matter. The interface IDs do, which are regenerated
every time you compile, unless you're using Binary Compatibility...
