Cannot add MSCOMCTL.OCX to VB6, no issues with Office -


i know, there countless threads control , i've been reading them hours. can't add ocx load vb6, running 64 bit win 7.

things have tried:

1. unregistering , re-registering (used regsvr32 syswow64) 2. did regtlib msdatsrc.tlb thing i've found 3. reinstalled sp6 4. installed cumulative update saying latest version 

i haven't reinstalled vb6, don't have media @ work or have, has shown never solution problem on successful fixes i've read these past few days i've been working on this.

things note people aren't talking in other threads: can add ocx office without issue, add controls (treeview, imagelist, etc) , use them fine. can't add ocx new, empty vb6 project. users trying open existing project, fails me well, never whether can add ocx new project. can't.

i hate create 1 of these threads further muddy water, solutions in other threads haven't been working me , no 1 mentioning can add office or new project.

this used work fine months ago, many things have happened since able pinpoint 1 may have caused this. main focus able add new project again.

thanks.

edit: vb being run in elevated xp sp3 compatibility mode.

found solution. don't know how came be, had 3 different versions registered in registry. maybe version trying used vb wasn't compatible compatible office? don't know.

here's did.

i opened registry (regedit.exe) , searched key 831fdd16-0c5c-11d2-a9fc-0000f8754da1 , found 3 different versions listed. made backup of sections going change, of course, , deleted of version entries. after that, went , registered had in syswow64 directory , it's normal. rechecking registry shows have version 2.2 installed.
