Do you mean Microsoft HTML Object Library, I do not have either of the other two and Microsoft HTML Object Library is what I have right below the one you said.

Yes you can, but they don't usually put licenses on it. Microsoft usually makes it difficult to use ocx files they have created in your project if you don't have the right license for it, meaning you should have had it installed when you installed VB/VS or else you don't have the license.
Not always true. You do not always get the standalone OCX to work with. There may be some other dependency file(s) required for the control to function properly.
I should have it and I do not know why I do not, anyway I thought that any OCX's could legally be distributed with your exe's. Doesen't it say that in the liscence agreement???

They can be legally distributed, but they can't be used in one's own software after they get it from somewhere else. Say if I made a program that used the Inet control, but you didn't have the inet ocx file, so I sent it to you. You could register it and my program would work because I am not developing with it on your computer, it is merely there for a program to work. On the other hand, if you have visual studio and are trying to use the ocx, visual studio will tell you that you do not have the correct license to use it in your own software.
I see, as I think I should have it but do not I will try it at some point and see what happens, if I should not have it I will be told, so theres no harm in trying.

very true. If all else fails, you can try installing VB again and see if it installs the file. Also, try installing the latest version of IE if you don't have it already.
anyway, the computer that has VB is not on the net yet, so I do not know if it even has IE on it, it probably does but it will definetely not be the latest one.

That may be why you don't have the inet control. I don't know what version of IE the current Inet control comes with, but that will probably fix your problem.
