Dialog Control trouble

[Mikesc]

Whenever I try to use the common dialog control VB5 tells me that I'm missing the required license or my registry settings are corrupt. I've reregistered the control several times, reinstalled VB, and tried to add a reference to the control file directly from the VB CD, nothing is working. I don't mind writing my own dialog classes, but I want to check out a few of the sample programs included with VB and the ones I want to check out use the control. I really don't want to redo the sample source code to fit my classes. Actually what I want is for the dialog control to work. Any ideas??

I suggest you download the following exe
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/VB6CLI.EXE
according to msdn article Q194751 it's supposed to fix the license problem.

Thanks, I really do appreciate it, but it doesn't
seem to work with VB5.

[Lothar Haensler]

you didn't mention that you use VB 5.
There is a fix available for VB 5, too.
Should be somewhere close to the specified location.

To save you wading through the MSDN, the VB5 fix is at :
