Try this:

Open the command window
c:\windows\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system\olepro32.dll
That should display a dialog indicating the success of the registration
c:\windows\regsvr32.exe ...yourocxinafullpathmode

I had to register olepro32.dll once because my OCX was not able to register.

The registration problem has nothing to do with VB. You don't need the runtime version.

Maybe there is something in the design of the control so it can't register.
