AxInterop.Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms is not working

Question

Hi,

I have used following code in our VB .Net Project Visual Studio 2017. Dll ".Forms.AxFrame.dll" added in Referance.

Public WithEvents Frame5 As AxMicrosoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.AxFrame
----------
Me.Frame5 = New AxMicrosoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.AxFrame()
----------
CType(Me.Frame5, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).BeginInit()
----------
''Frame5
Me.Frame5.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(168, 64)
Me.Frame5.Name = "Frame5"
Me.Frame5.OcxState = CType(resources.GetObject("Frame5.OcxState"), System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)
Me.Frame5.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(30, 5)
Me.Frame5.TabIndex = 33
----------
Me.Controls.Add(Me.Frame5)
----------
CType(Me.Frame5, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).EndInit()
----------
When I am trying to debug above code it is showing following Error:

Answer 1

AxInterop.Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.dll is an assembly and is not registered with RegSvr32

If it is an old project, did you try to remove/add the Reference ?

I just downloaded it from Google, then I added it as Reference (in a new VS 2022 project) and it worked, the Frame was created :

Answer 2

Not able to register

Please suggest me what to do next.
