imact33.ocx not registered

Question

I am attempting to get my VB6 software to work with windows 8 but I run up with a IMACT33.OCX or one of its dependencies are not corretly registered. Regsvr32 fails to register. I had it working by loading service pack 6 but when I reloaded windows and try it again I back where I startarted.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi Radar,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

I assume you have the 32bit .ocx file and with 64bit OS.

So you need to run Regsvr32.exe from the %SystemRoot%\Syswow64 folder.

Here is the information about how to resolve the error when you registry:

Explanation of Regsvr32 usage and error messages: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873  

Hope it helps.

Regsvr32 failed when I tried to register it. It said it couldn't find the DLL entry point or one of its dependencies isn't correctly registered. I checked with a dependency walker and it didn't find anything wrong.

See the below link for VB 6.0 questions (this forum is primarily for Visual Basic .NET). That component would appear to be for the ImageMan third-party software.

Hi Radar,

It seems that no error will be occurred if you register in .ocx file below the Syswow64. So please follow the steps to do it again:

1. Open the Syswow64 folder under the %SystemRoot% (such as “C:\Windows\SysWOW64”)

2. Find the cmd.exe and right click it to run as administrator

3. Type in “regsvr32 <path of ocx>”

If this doesn't work, I will suggest you to upload the .ocx file to sky-drive and I’d like to test in my side.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but did anyone ever figure this problem out? I'm having the exact same issue with imact33.ocx, it won't allow me to register it. I've tried every solution in this thread and then some, nothing seems to work.

Thanks
