Hello,
I recently wrote an application using among other things the controls present in the MSCOMCT2.OCX.

I tried compiling the application and the compilation went OK but when I installed it on the same machine I got this error, "Access Violation msvcrt.dll"_I'm not too sure if I got that correctly, and then my MSADODC.OCX couldn't register and if I chose to go on with the installation the application wouldn't work.

Now to make matters worse, my project wouldn't load in the VB IDE because the MSCOMCT2.OCX file is not registered. but it was and still is because i can see it in the component listing. If i try to add it to the tool box though I get the error component not registered. Now my project won't even load because of Tabstrips and Listviews extensively used in the program.

I've uninstalled and re-installed Visual Studio but all to no avail. By the way,the same compiled program installed fine on all other systems at school.

Anyone knows what's going on here and what I can do to remedy the situation.
I'm currently downloading the service pack for VS 6.0 but don't know if that will fix the system.

Hello,

Just wanted to clarify, so the installation and registration of the dlls work on other machines, however not the machine with the IDE?

Going for the easy obvious stuff first of course. The items that state that they are not registered. Did you go to a command prompt and run regsvr32 with the complete path name to the .dll?

Are you able to create a brand spanking new test project and reference the dlls?

What versions of the dlls are on your machine as compared to the others?

hmm, so much for the easy stuff, let us know what you get.

Actually I've fixed the problem about a week ago just forgot to remove the thread. I did this by downloading and installing SP6 from Microsoft's home page. Thanx anyway.
