Custom OCX; License not found
We have a few VB6 applications that use an OCX that we developed. We setup a new XP build machine for all our projects. On this new XP build machine, the projects that use one of our OCX won't compile and give us the error "Cannot load control {control_name}; license not found.". We have tried the registry fix provided by Microsoft with no change.
The OCX is our own project that references the following:
{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}, MSCOMCTL.OCX
{662901FC-6951-4854-9EB2-D9A2570F2B2E}, WINHTTP.DLL
{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}, IEFRAME.DLL
{F5078F18-C551-11D3-89B9-0000F81FE221}, MSXML6.DLL
{00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, STDOLE2.TLB
How do we fix this? We are out of ideas to get past this.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
I don't think you developed MSCOMCTL.OCX, unless you over-wrote it (with a different key)

Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Those all work under XP. What is YOUR OCX, and the key?

Our custom control used on the form is:
{4791C3B3-6C6F-422A-900A-00978799AAF2}
The OCX is:
{ECFB0155-4F7E-4E4A-B89E-5204BD830E4A}
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Post the code used IN the controls, and maybe something will stand out.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Did you register this control on the system by using RegSvr32 ?

Yes, we have compiled the OCX on the XP build machine and we have also unregistered and registered using regsvr32. We are still having the problem. We have also made sure the OCX project property "Require license key" is not checked.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
If it helps, my VB6 project file for the OCX is below.

Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Did you copy over the license file? Sounds like the .VBL file is missing or not in the right location.

I cannot locate and i'm not familiar with any .VBL file. The OCX project is NOT set to require a license file. This project is several years old, and this has never happened before, which is what makes this really confusing.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
That is odd, I have only saw this message when the control is set to use a license and the .vbl file is missing. I've got an old one here s well written in VB5 and when I setup a new machine it will alwys give that message until I have the proper .vbl file in place.
Can you open and build the ocx project on this new system?
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Yes, we can open the VB6 project on the new build machine and compile the OCX with no problems. Just the EXE projects that have the custom user control on a form won't compile with the missing license problem.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
On a side note, I tried compiling the OCX with the require license property set so I could get a license file. Even that didn't work, same problem.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
When I open our VB6 EXE project that uses the OCX control giving the license not found error, I have Process Monitor telling me the following HKCR\Licenses keys are looked for, but not found. Those GUID, I can not find any information for any where. I have no idea what they are for.
Code:
HKCR\Licenses\06BE90B0-2D30-11d0-9441-00A0C90F26F1
HKCR\Licenses\46fd8960-d06c-11cf-b364-00aa0060d393
HKCR\Licenses\5f54e750-ce26-11cf-8e43-00a0c911005a
The GUID for our one custom user control in our OCX giving the license error is:
{4791C3B3-6C6F-422A-900A-00978799AAF2}
Our custom user control (OCX) has one form that has the following controls on it:
Code:
{1EFB6596-857C-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628} MSComctlLib.TabStrip
{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262} SHDocVwCtl.WebBrowser
The OCX project has the following references and objects:
Code:
{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B} IEFRAME.DLL 1.1
{F5078F18-C551-11D3-89B9-0000F81FE221} MSXML6.DLL 4.0
{00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} STDOLE2.TLB 2.0
{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1} MSCOMCTL.OCX 2.1
{662901FC-6951-4854-9EB2-D9A2570F2B2E} WINHTTP.DLL 5.1
I hope this gives someone an idea of what is giving me this error, i'm running out of time to get this running.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Google this: HKCR\Licenses\5f54e750-ce26-11cf-8e43-00a0c911005a
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Thanks. I had done that already. A virus is know to add that, but my problem is that it doesn't exist.
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
Don't know what happened to my last post. GOOGLE THIS: HKCR\Licenses\5f54e750-ce26-11cf-8e43-00a0c911005a
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
I've run into this before, and although I don't recall the details, what comes to mind to try first is to remove the control (all instances and component reference) from the project, save it and exit VB. Then go back in and add the control again. If that doesn't work, I'd be wondering about the access privileges it might need to load the stuff it uses, such as ieframe.dll.
Incidentally, do you have the version compatibility set to Binary?
Re: Custom OCX; License not found
OK, I'll post it:
