I did that but still get the error: Mswinsck.ocx is not correctly registered or missing. I tried registering it but that gave the failed to load error. What is wrong?

Trying to install from a directory I created, I get the following error:
The module "c:\dtl database\mswinsck.ocs" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c.

EDDYKT

have you register the ocx by using

regsvr32 "c:\dtl database\mswinsck.ocx"

I should say:
Trying to REGISTER from a directory I created, I get the following error:
The module "c:\dtl database\mswinsck.ocs" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c.

Am I missing so other files?

EDDYKT

I get all the dependances listed below. How to I check to see if they are registered on my Win7 PC? Note: That PC doesn't have VS6 which is why I'm having problems. I need to able to set up my 50 Win7 users with vbSendMail but can't put VS6 on all there PCs.

i.	          MSWINSCK.OCX
ii.	              WSOCK32.DLL
iii.	              KERNEL32.DLL
iv.	              USER32.DLL
v.	              OLE32.DLL
vi.	              ADVAPI32.DLL
vii.	              OLEAUT32.DLL
viii.	              GDI32.DLL

Open in new window

EDDYKT

i think except the i. and ii. the rest should ship with system
check from c:\winnt\system32 directory and to see whether they are existed

I couldn't get it to register when it was in c:\windows. Might be some security issue? Anyway, got it to work in a folder that I created. Thanks for your help.

EDDYKT: Thanks for the info about depends.exe. Good to know.
