OCX Error 372 (Failed to load control)
Hi All,
We have a legacy vb6 app that is still running. Every once in a while, we'll get a "failed to load control" <control> from name.ocx. Your version may be outdated.
We are manifesting the file and there should only ever be one version of the DLL.
Other Factors:
1) We are running it off of a mapped drive
2) Error most commonly appears when a user uses a different computer than the one they are normally logged into.
EG: User A is logged off, User B logs in, runs app, error.
So far it's not consistently reproducable. If we wait for a while (approx 15 minutes or so . . . and/or a couple of reboots) the problem goes away.
Information is coming from users so is sporatic and questionable at best . . . but trying to narrow down the places to look.
Thanks in advanced.

The user(s) could copy the "application.exe" and the .ocx file to a local folder and then run the copied exe (and the copied .ocx) from that local folder.

We're trying to avoid that for easier publishing and what not. This works for a bunch of other apps but for some reason this decides to bomb . . . some of the time.
