[RESOLVED] Microsoft Internet Controls

[Visual Master]

Hi everyone i have a problem with Microsoft Internet Controls in visual basic 6.0.
When i right-click->components->select Microsoft Internet Controls and click apply -> close or ok a message box pops up:
"File not found: ' C:\Windows\system32\ieframe.dll\1'"

But when i go to C:\Windows\system32 , i can see the ieframe.dll

That is probably because ieframe.dll is not located on your machine, or not located in the folder VB expects it to be in.

I think the path is not correct.Infact i m sure beacuse after the filename there is \1. U can browse and see that dll file.

VM,

I think what you may have here is a corrupt registry entry. I scanned through mine and found that there are literally DOZENS of references to this particular component. This makes sense as it is a critical component that IE uses.

I noticed a lot of entries like "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll,N (where N refers to an icon resource) and a lot of references that simply referred to the file. Here's what I want you to do:

1) Set a restore point on your system. (I assume you're using XP).
2) Open your registry editor. (Start/Run - type in "regedit")
3) Edit/Find - type in "ieframe.dll" then press OK.
4) (This is the tedious part) - look at all the entries it finds. If you find one with the text "ieframe.dll\1" double-click the key and in the editor window remove the "\1".

The reason I suggest you set a restore point first is that it will back up your registry before doing this. Editing the registry can BREAK stuff on your system. I'm not altogether sure you will find this entry - it's possible that the \1 is being appended before the dialog box is being presented, however it's worth a shot. I ran into something similar to this some time ago.

I dunno if you'll wind up having to restart your system after making the fix or not - certainly you'll have to restart VB6 at-least.

Anyway ... it's something to try.

HTH,

Why not search for ieframe.dll\1 straight. Seems to work for me

Yap. There must be a bug there.

You should really use: shdocvw.dll if you have IE7 installed.

Click 'browse' and find shdocvw.dll and click ok.
