problems with winsock... Resolved

[Trancedude]

Ok, when i try to open a frm in my program, it says

Errors during load. Refer to blah blah blah frmMirage.log for more details.

Then the log says

Line 522: Cannot load control Socket; license not found.

I have winsock and its registered..whats goin on?

Line 522: Cannot load control Socket; license not found.

It's saying that it can't load the control named 'Socket' due to licensing issues. 'Socket' <> winsock.

Well this is a source code for a game that has been released to everyone, i was just wantin to mess around with it so i dont know much.

Do you know how i can solve this?

Did you read the log file? What did it say?

[Trancedude]

Yes i did, what the log file states is in my first post.

Socket is likely to be an OCX or DLL that was created by the game creator. Sounds like they havent passed on all the development files that will allow you to referance the control. it is licensing. When you create a ocx or dll some other files are created that allow you to edit AND/OR use the control.

Contact the game developer for those extra files.

should have

Socket.OCX or Socket.dll
Socket.exp
Socket.lib

files on your system to develope the program

Well I know this is old but i thought i'd let you know i fixed the problem.

I was using VB 6 learning edition which doesnt allow you to use some ActiveX controls, so i got the pro edition and now it works.
