My problem is slightly different though (i think)!
I have a crystal reports project in vb6 that has 11.5 version. Since updating to 11.5 I have had problems with MSCOMCTL.OCX which as soon as I remove the ocx from the project is fine, compiles the .exe fine. Then I add it, again fine, compiles etc. As soon as I add a component from MSCOMCTL.OCX (such as a imagelist or progress bar) crystal pops up a msi installation window saying it needs references.
WHY? MSCOMCTL.OCX is ms not crystal!
I have let the pop up window do its thing, and get it 4 more times (equal to the amount of controls from MSCOMCTL.OCX).
I have installed spk6 of vb6 with no change.
I have other projects with crystal 11.5 (although no MSCOMCTL.OCX) and get no compile issues.
As soon as I install the .exe on any machine each time I open the form (which has the controls from MSCOMCTL.OCX) it pops up a windows installing crystal again.
I have looked high and low and can not find a good reason for this.
Help anyone....I also posted on experts-exchange with points for this...if anyone needs the points.

Actually I was able to make it work, I frigged with adding the form to the project and then removing it then adding it back into the project, then I played with recompiling...and somehow, don't know how, I got it to work, although this is very scary as you should always know the reason behind something.
