    dataform.ocx cannot be registered


    I am converting a VB6 program to VB.net (using VBUC) in a Windows 10 system. Most has gone swimmingly, but I get "Did not find a registered ActiveX control in ....\dataform.ocx" error in the build.


    dataform.ocx was missing from the project, so I downloaded version 6.0.0.8169 (file size 529 kB, date modified 06/24/1998 1:00 AM) from Microsoft and placed it in C:\Windows\SysWow64.


    Then I attempted to register it using Regsvr32.exe. I get the error "Module dataform.ocx was loaded but the call to DLLRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005". The 0x80004005 error code means there is a permissions problem. However, I am logged in as an administrator AND ran the program as Administrator.


    I have tried un-registering it (same error). Any suggestions? Getting rid of dataform.ocx altogether is an option, but I'm not sure what that involves (what VB.net substitutions are needed for the wrapped-up VB6 needs).


    Thanks,

    Dave

  3. comdlg32.ocx Help

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the frustration when things don't work as expected.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps.

    When you install software that uses the comdlg32.ocx, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your OCX file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "comdlg32.ocx not registered" error. Fortunately,
    you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your comdlg32.ocx file.

    How to re-register comdlg32.ocx from an elevated command prompt (Windows 10).

    • Click the Start button.
    • Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit
      ENTER yet!
    • While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit
      ENTER
      .
    • You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.
    • Click Yes.
    • Type the following command: regsvr32 /u comdlg32.ocx.
    • Hit ENTER. This will UN-REGISTER your file.
    • Type the following command: regsvr32 /i comdlg32.ocx.
    • Hit ENTER. This will RE-REGISTER your file.
    • Close the command prompt window.
    Re-start the program associated with comdlg32.ocx error.

    Hope this helps resolving the issue, if issue persists do get back to us we will be glad to help you.

    Thank you.

    Hi Joe,



    If you’re trying to look for a replacement of comctl32.ocx, it’s possible that it was corrupted or an invalid related registry entry has occurred. Now, let’s try to
    manually register this using Microsoft Register Server. Follow these steps:

    • Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
      Start
      .
    • Right-click on the result, then select Run as administrator.
    • Type this command: regsvr32 /u comctl32.ocx.
    • Press Enter to un-register the file.
    • Type this command: regsvr32 /i comctl32.ocx.
    • Press Enter to re-register your file.
    • Close the command prompt.
    • Restart your computer and check the result.

    Let us know if concern has been resolved.
