Question

Component ‘cmdlg32.ocx’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered:

Asked by: eghtebas

Run-time error ‘339’:
Component ‘cmdlg32.ocx’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

While back, I developed an application in VB 6.0.

Now, trying it in a new laptop, I get this error.  Upon clicking OK, it exits the application.

A detailed instruction to remedy this problem is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, You need to make sure that cmdlg32.ocx is registered on the system

Start/Run / Type: regsvr C:\windows\system32\cmdlg32.ocx

Where C:\windows\system32\cmdlg32.ocx is the location to the file.

 

by: egl1044Posted on 2005-11-03 at 08:19:52ID: 15217917

My bad,

Regsvr32 C:\windows\system32\cmdlg32.ocx

Start/Run / Type:

Regsvr32 C:\windows\system32\cmdlg32.ocx

responds with:

LoadLibrary(“C:\windows\system32\cmdlg32.ocx”) failed – The specified module could not be found.

Where do I get the file?

Hi, You need to download the VB6 Runtime files, this should fix the problem

Download comdlg32.ocx from here:
http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/support_dll.phtml?dllname=COMDLG32.OCX

The file is called COMDLG32.OCX not cmdlg32

Then copy that file to your windows directory
Then execute this:

Regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX

Also if you want to be sure it will work make another copy of file and call it CMDLG32.ocx as you said and execute Regsvr32 for that too

Didn't work.  I may be rushing a bit and making some sort of mistake.  This is because I have to attend something urgent.

I apologize for it.  I will get back to this question late this afternoon.
