Why doesn't MSINET.OCX work?

[benski]

Why doesn't MSINET.OCX register properly on some machines?

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with which version (if any) of Internet Explorer is installed, but I can't work out what the relationship is exactly.

Any ideas gratefully received. :)

MsInet.ocx need Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher. Or you have to install Axdist.exe, read more infomation in here: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q198/7/68.ASP

Thanks, but that still didn't solve my problem.

When my app is installed on certain machines, even if they have IE3 or above the MSINET.OCX file cannot be registered properly (sometimes).

The 'sometimes' part is the annoying thing. I can't work out why some machines are fine - I'm not talking about the file 'not working' properly - I mean it can't even be registered/installed.

How do you mean, it doesn't work? If you can't register it, then download the fix at msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic

Is the fix specific to msinet.ocx or is it in the VB SP3?

It's been a documented problem with some controls that they come up with something like "You do not have a license for this control." Check it out: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181/8/54.asp
