VB6 project and Crystl32.ocx

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello all:

A friend of mine just sent me a project they have had a lot of trouble maintaining...typical custom app dev story, the original developer disappeared, no documentation, etc., etc. and the project is in VB6.

I managed to pull VB 6 Enterprise off MSDN, but when I tried to load the project I get errors on 2 DLLS:

crystl32.ocx and unrarocx,ocx.

I managed to find unrarocx.ocx, got it registered, and that message went away.

However I am having issues with crystal32.ocx, and I am not sure if it is because of the version or what. I have 2 versions of the OCX, one recent, and one on the dev box I am using which seems to be from 1998. I tried to register each of them but I still get the error message when I try to load the project in VB...

"crystl32.ocx could not be loaded"

Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? I have never used VB at all (went from C->Java->C#) so I have no idea. Do VB projects need to be in certain directories? I.e. Does VB 6 have trouble with spaces in paths like "My Documents"?

Thanks for any and all input.

John.
