How to resolve "MSFLXGRD.OCX" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid issue?

Question

Im trying to run an application developed using VB6. When trying to run the .exe I am getting Run time error code "339" with the "Component "MSFLXGRD.OCX" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid" message. I checked the C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\ and C:\windows\system32\ directories for the .OCX file and its not listed. I'm running a PC with Windows 10 64 bit. Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Thank you,
Dave

Answer 1

I checked the C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\ and C:\windows\system32\ directories for the .OCX file and its not listed

Then it is normal that this message is displayed
The .OCX must be registered as Admin with regsvr32
This .OCX is very old
You can put it in the executable directory, then register it from there (easy to find from Google if you don't have it locally)
(BTW, why a Tag windows-uwp-runtime ?)

You can replace MSFlxGrd with the free VBFlexGrid available on VBForums
