    Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) Out of date (mscomctl.ocx)

    I was just running the Package and Deployment wizard to collect the DLLs and OCXs I needed to make an install file with ********** and as I went through the wizard it told me that mscomctl.ocx was out of date and asked me if I wanted to include it.

    I need to include it because I am using an image list. All the rest of the common controls listed under the References dialog say MSComCtrl32.ocx, but that is the only one that says MSComCtrl.ocx, should I use v5? Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    eyeRmonkey,

    If the file is out-of-date you need to update your computer to get the latest ocx for that control.

    What OS are you creating your installation on and what version of ********** are you using?

    I don't know what version of ********** I have (I am not at home right now), but my OS is XP with SP2. I always that that Common Controls 6.0 referenced MSCOMCTL32.ocx. I wonder if some program I installed messed it up and registered an old file and VB is recognizing that. Just a guess though.

    Install VB SP6, and it will update most of your controls.

    Its ok EM. No problems. Actually this way you get the best of both worlds. Shortcut in Classic VB and thread in AD.
