VB6 on windows 11

[OxfordGuy]

I am having a strange problem on Windows 11, not being able to load all controls. On my XP virtual machine running on my iMac, it loads all the custom controls no problem. But on Windows 11, I have to load AUTO32LD.VBP first, then rename the project. Any help will be most appreciated.

We can't do anything with that information.
Did it ever work on the Windows 11 PC?
What error messages are you getting if any.
Are these custom controls that you have written?
What is in this AUTO32LD.VBP project?
etc.
etc.

The controls in question are data controls and a tabbed control. As I said they load fine in XP, they exist on the windows 11 machine. But I have to load the project file to get them to show up. The file I downloaded it from I can not remember where from. It may be connected to VB4 also existing on my virtual machime see "https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_KB_Archive/170356?__cf_chl_f_tk=qZSVDEm5xA81ltQSuVJFTtjUtMB3l8867vjHHzEBurg-1782938407-1.0.1.1-yoynsvm4noUD2Bhg_zvN1MGqieEqnnUNpPHMBYCAbaY"

I believe AUTO32LD.VBP was used in VB4. In VB6 The standard controls are displayed in the Toolbox window. The available controls are listed by using Ctrt-T. Most of these controls are loaded by using the applicable ".ocx" file. Win 11 is usually 64-bit oriented, and VB6 is 32-bit oriented. Therefore, the OCX files should be located in the SysWOW64 directory rather than the System32 directory. Controls are added to the Toolbox window by clicking the checkbox of the desired control and apply. If the OCX has not been properly registered, it will tell you.

Hope this helps.
