    Trying to run a VB6 project

    I have VB2005 now on a machine with XP and the old VB6 was removed. I can run some of my old VB6 programs from my desktop except for one. I get the following message:
    Code:
    Component 'MSMASK32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Do you have an installer for the vb6 app that contains all the required dependencies? if so, then you can reinstall it. However, if you were just using the exe that was created by vb6 and only using on a machine that had vb6 installed, you will need to replace the missing components.

    I am just using the exe that was created from VB6. Once I find the missing file(I assume I find it off of the internet), where do I place it?

    If it needs to be registered I don't think it matters where the file is but you can spare yourself some typing if it is in the system32 dir:

    file is in Windows\system32: regsvr32 MSMASK32.OCX

    file is in some other dir: regsvr32 path\MSMASK32.OCX
