    Resolved [RESOLVED] Vista Error (MSWINSCK.OCX)

    Ok so i have this rather large program that im using, im working on making it Vista compatible.. There was a tun of work to do but im almost finished with it finally!

    The only problem left is this. When the user starts the program, it starts up a splash screen, that form connects to a server app i have on a sever computer, and it checks for updates. If the version of the program is less then the version of the EXE file on the server, then it will run the patcher application as well as the updater app on the server. The server will wait a few seconds then try to connect to the users computer, and it sends the entire EXE file, after the transfer, the patcher updates the EXE file, runs the new version of the program and closes itself.

    The problem. Both the main app and the patcher use the Winsock control. There's several of them all over different forms. On the patcher app, there's only one.. But on vista computers, when the program tries to run the patcher app, it says this:

    "Component ‘MSWINSCK.OCX’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

    I dont get this error on the comp with VB installed, but all other computers with vista, i get this.. They can not update! I dont get why this happens. That control does the exact same things on both apps. So they need to be registered the same, and on the main app it works just fine! And on XP machines it works just fine!

    anybody have any ideas? Ive look around the net and they have said to do 2 things.. Remove and Reinstall the program, which ive done and it didnt work. And to reinstall the winsock control, with some packaged version or whatever from microsoft, ive done that and it didnt work either.
