    Resolved [RESOLVED] [VB6], component not registered on windows vista?

    Hey guys, I have a program that I compiled and copied over to my vista machine to see how it would run but I get the error that componenet "fileSearch.ocx" ir one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.


    But all of the files are in the same folder?

    maybe my program is not vista compatible?

    Instead of just copying the files that you know about, create an installation package (using P&DW, or one of the alternatives listed in the FAQ at the top of this forum), so that all of the required files are used, and are correctly registered.
