You, Sir, are a genius. Thank you!<br />
<br />
The ocx's registered perfectly but I now have an unrelated issue with wmp.dll<br />
<br />
I do have a control which uses wmp but I'm going to disable it now and see if my program runs and uses successfully mscomm successfully.<br />
<br />
Back shortly...

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a program written in VB6 which works perfectly well on all my development machines which run XP / O2k3 / VB6. However I am trying to get it to run on a system running MS Small Business Server 2008 (64-bit) and am having trouble registering mscomm32.ocx<br />
<br />
I have copied the files mscomm32.ocx and mswinsck.ocx from an XP machine. When I run the command &quot;regsvr32.exe mscomm32.ocx&quot; I get the following error message<br />
<br />
The module &quot;mscomm32.ocx&quot; may not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check if the module is compatible with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe.<br />
<br />
I get an identical message when I try to register mswinsck.ocx<br />
<br />
Can anyone advise me how I can register these or obtain versions of these files which will work on this system.<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />
Darren

Registering MSCOMM32 on a 64-bit operating system

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
