I'm trying to load an existing vb6 project but I'm getting the "Object Library not registered" pop up as I load and then when I build the project I'm getting "MISSING: Active setup control Library". This is even preventing me from using the Format() method. Please provide some insite on correcting this. Thanks.
It in Asctrls.ocx shipped with IE4 at least. It's not in Vista or VB6.

I've post this question on MSDN (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithhtml5/thread/9da1b0e4-6a03-41b2-b68e-6fefb4729c52). If it is considered as duplicated question, please remind me to delete it. Thanks.
I am using VS2012 pro on Win8 Pro. I encountered an issue and needs your help:
Let me simplify the scenario: Metro App (JavaScript) calls DLL1(a Windows Runtime Component), and DLL1 calls DLL2(a MFC DLL).
After I created a MFC DLL, then from "Configuration Properties", I changed the "use of MFC" as "Use Standard Windows Libraries", and changed "Windows Store App Support" as "Yes". But My Metro App always said that "0x8007007e - JavaScript runtime error: The specified module could not be found." After debugging, I found that the error is caused by DLL2. But I don't know why it is caused.
Does anybody know anything about this? Or would you please give me some hint?
Thank you all.
I think it is necessary to add my solution: I must manually add the external dependent dll (not the system dll but built by yourself or others) into my js project by "added as link". Thus the issue could be resolved. If any encounter the same issue, please write to me and let's discuss it. Thanks.
I am currently converting a library to be a Metro library for Windows 8. I've created a brand new project in Visual Studio 2012 using the "Class Library (Windows Store apps)" C# Template. I've been adding a lot of files and working through the compile errors, but the one that's confusing me is:
Error 2 Predefined type 'System.TypedReference' is not defined or
imported CSC MyNewProject
The "CSC" appears under the "File" column. Double-clicking the error does nothing. Googling only gives me this:
Do not specify the /nostdlib option from the command line compiler.
Make sure that the project refers to the correct mscorlib.dll.
Reinstall the .NET Framework common language runtime (if the previous
solutions do not solve the problem).
(source http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f5c3ehka.aspx)
I'm not using a command line compiler, I don't know how to include or exclude mscorlib - because unlike previous .NET apps in Visual Studio, the only thing my project references is ".NET for Windows Store apps" and "Windows" (something I'm still getting used to).
Any thoughts/advise on this?
That Object is not available or has been relocated for the new ARM .NET architecture.
Here is the Full API for you to search, I would of searched for it, but it is missing a search func.

For anyone else who encounters this, I experienced this while I was converting a project to run on metro. I continued to fix other issues (at the time this was one of hundreds of errors) and eventually this just simply disappeared. My plan was to eventually compare this to a new metro project in a text editor once I fixed all the other errors, but it solved itself before that could happen.
I have Autodesk Inventor 2012 and its SDK, including add-in creation wizards, installed. I have created an add-in project (in VB.NET), and used the code from SimpleAddIn sample provided. .addin file points to the location of dll output of the compilation.
However, i have run into a following problem. When Inventor loads, not a single breakpoint in the add-in Activate function is triggered. Moreover, when i call the list of add-ins, mine is shown in the list as not loaded, and however i flag it to be, it does not.
What could be the reason for this behaviour? How can that be fixed?
Well, I assume that you're using RegistryFreeAddins being deployed via Manifests...
From the fact that your AddIn is listed in the AddIn Manager, I conclude that the registration works, but the loading at runtime fails. This can have those main reasons:
Missing Dependencies (in case you use third party assembiles)
BadImageFormatException (your AddIn compiled in x86 and you have X64
Inventor installed, which you always have in case you've got a 64-bit
OS)
Have a look at your debug output in VisualStudio. Do you see any Exception Messages, that would relate to your AddIn? If not, you could try to activate the "Managed Debugging Assistants" in VS (especially for BadImageFormat- and FileNotFoundException(s)). Just google the above phrase to see how it's done.
Hope I could help :)
Are you targeting .Net 4? Inventor 2012 supports only .net 3.5 it seems. I ran into the same problem and changing to 3.5 made my plugin load correctly.

if for a reason or another, the library load crash in the Activate procedure, you will not be able to debug the solution.
So, clean the Activate sub and keep only necessary calls and try again.
If it's still not working, just PM me the Activate procedure and I'll help you.
I've been able to create a signed CAB file for web deployment containing my control and dll, but my control seems unable to access classes and functions in my dll even though it is listed as a dependency in the CAB's inf file. For all my research, I can't even tell if what I'm trying to do is "allowed". Followup: if it is possible to talk to a non-com dll, is it a security risk?
I'm using msvc 2010. Thanks for your time!
Pretty certain what I was trying to do wasn't possible. Ended up creating a class library instead so that I could reference and include the functions I needed at compile time.
I have a third party COM dll that I'm trying to add to a vb.net (2008 express) project. I put the dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ and registered it with "regsvr32 vxncom.dll". When I go to projects > add reference and go to the COM tab it shows up in the list of available components/libraries. But, when I select the library and hit ok, visual studio complains: "A reference to 'vxncom 4.0 Library' could not be added. Could not register the ActiveX type library 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\vxncom.dll'."
The project I am doing this in is an example provided by the folks who distribute the dll. The component also fails to be added when I start a new (blank) vb.net project.
UPDATE 1:
I ran dependency walker on the dll in question and here's what I got in the error log:
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
The module in question seems to be libeay32.dll, but it already exists in C:\WINDOWS\system32.
UPDATE 2:
I went to the openssl site and downloaded and used their installer to update the libeay32.dll. I ran dependency walker again on vxncom.dll, and there were no errors. Went back to visual studio and it still didn't want to add the reference. Exact same error as before.
Maybe the DLL VB is trying to register depends on another DLL that is not present. You can confirm this (or rule it out) by using the free Dependency Walker tool from http://www.dependencywalker.com/
RESPONSE TO UPDATE 1:
Sounds like there's a mismatch between the version of libeay32.dll that's installed on your system and the one that your component is expecting -- depends is saying that your component is looking for a function that isn't there. I would check the version number of libeay32 and then contact the vendor and ask them what versions they support.
Just a thought - you may get a more detailed error message if you create your own PIA using tlbimp.exe, rather than relying on the IDE to do it for you.
Assuming you haven't fixed it or have moved on to alternatives; and following on from jeffm's answer is libeay32.dll properly registered with the operating system? Re-installing / repairing usually fixes that type of problem (I see it a lot with MS Office and MapPoint where the COM objects occasionally unregister themselves for one reason or another.)
