Errror selecting internet control

I have a project which includes a WebBrowser control. I started the project on a specific computer ("no. 1", Windows 7) where all was working fine.

But then I opened the project on another computer ("no. 2", Windows XP) and got an error that the control had not been loaded. I went to Project/Components, selected Microsoft Internet Controls and the correct location was shown at the bottom of the form: "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll. So then I clicked on the "Apply" button and got this strange message that this file had not been found:

C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll\1

(notice the "1" at the end).

When I then manually browsed to select the ieframe.dll file and finally clicked "Accept", the message was displayed that file ieframe.dll could not register as an ActiveX component.

I don't have any idea what's going on.

This may be related to version of IE installed on each machine. Are they the same?

Yepp, no IE9/10 on XP as far as i know

That may be it, it's IE9 on the Win7 computer and IE7 on the WinXP.

So this webbrowser control is supposed to work only with IE >= 9, is that the point?

The other way around: You coded your original program on Win7, which uses IE9, and then you moved your code/program to a machine using IE7, so there might be some differences (and i'm pretty sure there are) with the internet control

It worked, thank you. I just wonder how this minor corruption could creep into the registry.

It's been solved already by fixing the registry as suggested by ladoo. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, it's a good example of how to create controls at run time.
