COM and ActiveX not working in Vista
[360 byte] By [Jim Bassett] at [2007-11-20 2:57:37] 
We have some applications that make use of COM objects developed in VB6 and also make use of the SOAP toolkit 3.0 and now these do not work in Vista. This is happening whether we install the apps on a Vista PC or upgrade from XP to Vista and the applicatiosn were already installed and working in XP. Is there is some special way to register these components?

I think you're going to need to get a lot more specific about what problems you are seeing. I have a hard time believing that these technologies just don't work anymore. Most likely, you're doing something undocumented (or worse, something specifically prohibited that just happened to work in previous OSes).dcell59 at 2007-11-10 3:40:04 >

Have you attempted to register the DLLs? Windows Vista fully supports Visual Basic 6 runtime. The question of it not working in Vista is not its incapability, but its installation/setup of the application.What error messages are you getting?
