Lost License file for MSCOMCTL.OCX! 1

[CraigBest]

I just went into VB6 SP5 and tried to open one of my projects. It loaded fine but when I went to run it I got back an error saying "Cannot load control tlbPOSys; license not found." tlbPOSYS is a Microsoft toolbar from MSCOMCTL.OCX. As you might expect, none of the other controls from this OCX will load either. I've tried re-running service pack 5 but that did not help, neither did Windows Update.

Any idea on how I can get my license info back? My colleague also has VB6 SP5 on his machine, is there a licence file I can copy and paste to get things back to normal? Help!

Could the project have been created in SP6?

Hi Matt

It's possible -- I never knowingly installed SP6 but the component is listed as SP6.

The project was developed and has run in the IDE on this very machine for 3 years. Just stopped working today. Really need to get it working again!

... And just for good measure I just D/L'ed and installed VB6 SP6 and ran it, no change. Still getting missing license file error.

... And running RegSvr32 on the OCX file didn't work either. (Registered OK but license info still missing).

Help!

Does the app work on his machine?

 

[CraigBest]

Yes. Nothing wrong with the Application files.
