I've recently installed windows 10 from windows 7. I have now run in to an issue where microsoft Common Controlls mscomctl is not founnd

VB6 Common Controls On Windows 10. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 8 months ago. Active 1 year ago. Viewed 34k times 3. I've recently installed windows 10 from windows 7. Vb6 not able to load forms with status bar control on windows 7 64 bit. Visual Studio 6 Windows Common Controls 6.0 (sp6) Windows 7, 64 bit.

I have registered the 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' file with sysWow64/Regsvr32.exe

But when I reload the project it still cant find the reference.

I've also registered the .ocx with System32. Is this a windows 10 issue or am I missing something?

The answer was that I had to go inside the project, Click projoect and then components and tick the Microsoft Common Controls. Clicked apply and restarted the project with a save.

Didn't relise it would disable it if you didn't have the registery and after you complete the registery on the .ocx file you then have to re-enable it.

The most probable reason for this error is that your project is looking for a newer version of MSCOMCTL.OCX than is installed by Visual Basic 6 (with Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 6).

You can verify the version of the typelib required by your project by opening the .vbp project file in a text editor. Look for a line like this one:

Monthview

Object={831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.2#0; MSCOMCTL.OCX

The 2.2 in the middle refers to the typelib version required. If you re-add the component reference and then save the project, you can go back to the .VBP file and see what typelib version is currently installed on your machine. (This will likely be version 2.0).

To get the latest typelib version (2.2):

  1. Install Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 6, if you haven't already.
  2. Install the January 2016 version of the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Security Rollup Update.

This will give you version 6.1.98.46 of MSCOMCTL.OCX.
