VB6 ActiveX Controls in WinPE

[noseph]

I have a VB6 application that I wrote that contains an ActiveX control (SSTab). I am having a problem getting it to run in the WinPE environment. The application is complaining "Failed to load control 'SSTab' from TABCTL32.OCX". TABCTL32.OCX is in the system32 directory on my WinPE CD and is the one from the VB6sp6 installation package. Other VB6 applications seem to run fine. Any help or suggestions.

Did you load the optional components?

Did you download and install teh VB6runtime components.

Did you register the necessary components?

The tabctl32.ocx is the only optional component.

The vb6runtime is installed.

I have also tried to register the components seperately, with the same results.

I guess my real question is, are VB6 programs with ActiveX controls supported in WinPE?

[ChrisBaksa]

Yes they are.

I would use Dependancy Walker on your app. Maybe you are missing something else.

I install ALL the optional components. Take a bit longer to load, But I don't miss anything.

I have had this problem, the only tab control i could get to work is the wells project...on freevbcode. You will have to register the vbruntimes in order for it to work.
