    Hi,

    Please note that Visual Basic 6.0 is no longer supported and it's recommended to migrate your functionality to .NET.

    To reregister MSCOMM32, you can open cmd as administrator and try the commands

    regsvr32 /u MSCOMM32.OCX
regsvr32 /i MSCOMM32.OCX

    Best Regards,

    Migrating to VB.Net isn't easy. But VB6 apps should still run on Windows 11 (see Microsoft's "It just works" support).
    Alternatively migrate to the VB6 compatible twinBASIC programming language.
