    Errror selecting internet control

    I have a project which includes a WebBrowser control. I started the project on a specific computer ("no. 1", Windows 7) where all was working fine.

    But then I opened the project on another computer ("no. 2", Windows XP) and got an error that the control had not been loaded. I went to Project/Components, selected Microsoft Internet Controls and the correct location was shown at the bottom of the form: "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll. So then I clicked on the "Apply" button and got this strange message that this file had not been found:

    C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll\1

    (notice the "1" at the end).

    When I then manually browsed to select the ieframe.dll file and finally clicked "Accept", the message was displayed that file ieframe.dll could not register as an ActiveX component.

    I don't have any idea what's going on.

    This may be related to version of IE installed on each machine. Are they the same?

    That may be it, it's IE9 on the Win7 computer and IE7 on the WinXP.

    So this webbrowser control is supposed to work only with IE >= 9, is that the point?

    Re: Errror selecting internet control

    The other way around: You coded your original program on Win7, which uses IE9, and then you moved your code/program to a machine using IE7, so there might be some differences (and i'm pretty sure there are) with the internet control

    I just started a brand new project on computer #2 (XP / IE7) and when I tried to add a webbrowser control the same error messages appeared.

    You may also want to try this workaround.
    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
    Declare Sub CrashVB Lib "msvbvm60" (Optional DontPassMe As Any)

    It worked, thank you. I just wonder how this minor corruption could creep into the registry.

    Re: Errror selecting internet control

    It's been solved already by fixing the registry as suggested by ladoo. Thanks anyway.

    Re: Errror selecting internet control

    Thanks, it's a good example of how to create controls at run time.
