Hi Krool,

If I understand correctly,...
1) I put CCR32.OCX into a Win7x86 C:\Windows\System32 and registered it.
2) Open VB6, create a project with CCR32.OCX, put some of the controls on the form.
3) I add CCR32SideBySide.res into the project so that this file will be compiled into the exe.
4) I copy Project1.exe and CCR32.OCX to a thumbdrive and plug into my Win8x64 ASUS notebook.
5) I copy the files onto the desktop. (Same result if I just run from thumbdrive).
6) I run Project1.exe

Error:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
Windows Event Viewer:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\User\...\Desktop\Project1.exe". Error in manifest or policy file "C:\User\...\Desktop\Project1.exe" on line 36. Invalid Xml syntax.

I did the same for CCR32SideBySideAndVisualStyles.res and same thing. This time the error in on line 41.
