PRB: Installing CCRP Controls with VB6 Fails to Register Control

CCRP Controls requiring VB5

Symptom

When installing an application developed with Visual Basic 6 which uses a non-VB6-based CCRP control, running the setup installation on a client machine fails to register the CCRP control.

Cause

CCRP controls specify the minimum VB runtime requirements for each control. With the release of VB6, these requirements now extend to the client machine where a VB5-based CCRP control is installed.

Solution

Where a CCRP control indicates that a specific version of VB5 is required on the development machine, the VB5 runtime file msvbvm50.dll must also be installed onto the client prior to installing the application. Alternatively, upgrade your project to VB6-based controls where available.

Status

This is a limitation of the VB runtimes, which are not backward compatible.
