    What Windows Version?
    Are you using the standard MS installer or one crafted by others to avoid problems with later windows versions?
    Have you tried running the installer as Administrator?
    Do a web search for "VB6 setup on windows xxx" (where xxx is your windows version - vista/7/7.1/8, 10 etc)

    Ok, I understand better I think. You have VB6 installed and running Ok. This problem is with a project you have created yourself and trying to install it?

    Are you trying to install you project on the same computer it was developed on or on another computer?

    Is the file included in your setup cab file?

    Have you tried recreating the setup file?

    There is no need to manually register anything nor is there any need to download the VB6 runtime files. The problem is with the install file you have created.

    Like I said there is no reason to manually register. The error message in your earlier post indicates an issue with your setup file on the line shown which says to me that either there is an error on tht line of the lst file or there is a problem with the ocx you are trying to install.

    Also keep in mind that if you are doing this on you development machine then that control is already installed and registered properly so running regsvr does nothing at all.

    Did you create a new setup after you ran into the issue? If not then try that first as that is simple and easy.
    No I do not think the out of date dependency would cause that error message.
    Manually editing the setup.lst file very well could cause the problem.

    It is quite likely that your setup program is trying to install a very old version of the control but I do not think that would cause the message you are seeing though it may be possible.

    DEP files contain "dependency information." The wizard verifies mscomct2.ocx against mscomct2.dep and finds a mismatch. That raises the possibility that the instructions in the DEP file are now incorrect.

    That seems unlikely with an old and stable library like mscomct2.ocx.


    The other error dialog says that you have bad syntax in that setup.lst file at the line shown. The problem is that the timestamp has an improperly formatted date part. The dates should be mm/dd/yyyy not dd.mm.yyyy as you have.

    I can only guess that you are using VS/VB software that was built for U.S. use. There were special editions that had been hacked to be locale-blind, for use internationally. Those take care of using Earth Standard date formats and such even when used in Elbonia.

    Where did you get VB and the PDW? It must not have been through normal retail channels.


    To make this work running the U.S. software you have you'd probably have to change your Region settings to "English (Uniited States)" and then run the PDW again.
