Register MSADODC.OCX

Question

An old app of mine in VB6 uses MSADODC.OCX. Now my OS is WINDOWS 10 and I can't install VB6 but only Visual Basic Portable. Trying to launch my app in VB Portable, I get an error message about the OCX (not correctly registered). I've tried to register again the file but unsuccessfully.
Can someone tell me if there's a way to make MSADODC work with VB Portable?
Thank you in advance ...

Answer 1

> I've tried to register again the file but unsuccessfully.

Which error ?

OCX must be registered as Admin

If I do, in a CMD window as Admin (in the directory where I copied MSADODC.OCX) :

regsvr32 MSADODC.OCX

I get the message that it is registered successfully.

Answer 2

Mostly for the record I guess; I have an old VB6 app that suddenly complained about missing MSADODC.OCX. I run it under Wine and not in Windows, btw. Copying the file from the old XP virtual machine where I develop and installing it with

regsvr32 MSADODC.OCX

worked and after the VB app was happy again. I have no idea why it worked earlier, but it could be related to adding foreign key constraints to the jet database.
