• mscomctl problem

    From scbs29@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 7 17:29:32 2018
    Hello
    Just started having problem with mscomctl.ocx.
    I have 3 programs which I wrote more than 3 years ago, and up until
    now if I wanted to change anything they would load into the VB6 IDE
    with no problems and I could make any changes I wished.
    Suddenly, however, if I try to load any of these programs into the IDE
    I receive a dialog stating
    'C:\Windows\SysWow64\Mscomctl.ocx' could not be loaded--Continue
    Loading Project?
    If I reply Yes then I get a dialog stating Errors during load. Refer
    to ...log for details.
    I select OK and get another dialog stating Errors during load.
    Selecting OK leads to this dialog being repeated about 7 or 8 times
    until the code loads into the IDE.
    I then select Projects - Components to add mscomctl.ocx but when
    selecting this to be added I receive a dialog again stating 'C:\Windows\SysWow64\Mscomctl.ocx' could not be loaded
    The entries in the .log file are:
    Line 36: Class MSComctlLib.ImageList of control il1 was not a loaded
    control class.
    Line 45: Class MSComctlLib.TreeView of control tv1 was not a loaded
    control class.

    The ocx is present in SysWow64, and RegDllView shows that the ocx is registered.

    Can anyone please advise ?
