When I use comdlg32.ocx(VB5) in Win98 I get following message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment."
In Win95 I don't get that message.
Thanks for your help.

Hi!

This error means that COMDLG32.OCX and related files have not been properly registered in the Win98 regsitry. Try reinstalling VB UNDER WIN98. That should solve this problem.

I have been having problems with the above as well. Have tried re-installing VB, unregistering the ocx/dll but still no joy!!!
Help!!!!!

Same error, different component. Happens with comct232.ocx under Windows NT 4.0 SP4. This is incredibly urgent.

HELP!!!

I'm sorry but i need the file comdlg32.ocx please:)
thank you!

Yup, same here. I get that message with alot of controls (especially MS ones). I think it's that I have LE, because I installed the sucker in Win98 origionally. I need this control! (Well, and I need MSComm control too, cause that's outta wack as well). Dang this error. Any ideas out there?

After re-installing win98.. I keep getting an error msg every 30 secs or so saying that COMDLG32.OCX is not correctly registered: file missing or invalid." .. What did I do wrong.. and how can I fix it?????

I'm trying to use an FS98 add on so I can
repaint my aircraft. It's the "repnt98" file
downloaded from "Simviation" web site. After
unzipping, I click on the executable file
and get the error msg saying I need the
COMDLG32.OCX file. I'm baffled. Any help on this would be severely appreciated! Thanx!!

I need the file comdlg32.ocx in windows 95.

There is a place where I can find it, or only is available in windows 98.

Tnaks.

I read the messages people wrote and I re-installed VB5, i registered comdlg32.ocx with the this command:
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system\comdlg32.ocx
I was told that this command will register it but still i get the message with the license thing.
What should I do?
Please help,
Thanks

i am having the same problem and went as far as reinstalling windows to no avail. i went to microsoft's website and found a fix for SP3 for visual studio that was supposed to fix it. so i d/led it and tried to run it. There was a stupid message and not being compatible with the CPU under the OS so i could not fix it.. If there is no solution, next step is the old Format.com please help!!! go to microsfts site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/vs97/controlupdate.asp to see if you can get hte file to work

OK Guys... I must say I was going nuts over this problem myself... I was kind of relieved that I was not the only one with the problem. Anyway... Downloaded this file from the Microsoft Website that fixes it.

I hope it Works for you!!!!!
Good Luck

I to have problem with the comdlg32.ocx.
I install a program and after this i start get error messages about the comdlg32.ocx is outdate or something.

this is the link to the SP3:
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/VBC.EXE

go in the registry and do a find for "REGDONE" when you find it change the value to "1" and it will fool windows 98 in thinking it was registard hope it solves your problem

I have the same problems with comdlg32.ocx (VB5) because I tried to convert a 16 Bit project file. now comdlg32.ocx and comctl32.ocx could not be loaded. Anybody got the solution, help me!

VBC.EXE can solve all of the OCX problems such as MSWINSCK.OCX and so on...

Thanks guys for your help

I use VB5 on NT Workstation(SP5) and
had exactly the same problem with comdlg32.ocx as the one other people in this forum had. I got the error window, saying that I had no license for it. However, after I downloaded VBC, the VB5 fix patch from Microsoft and ran it, all the problems were sorted out. I had to thank the person, who
told us about this patch at this forum.

Patch

I used the vbc.exe file and it did not fix my problem of comdlg32.oxc may be outdated...
what next?

Man im having problems with this crap too, i downloaded the same file from more than 20 different sites and it still gives me error messages!!

When I use comdlg32.ocx(VB5) in Win98 I get following message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment."
In Win95 I don't get that message.
Thanks for your help.

Indeed there is a problem with comdlg32.ocx, comdlg32.oca and the comcat.dll file.
A new program can install a new version of comdlg32.ocx (6.00 instead of 5.00) in our case). In that event the oca is wrong I suppose and the registry contains references to the 6.0 version...
What I did was :
- reinstall the older comdlg32.ocx and comcat.dll
- get in the registry and erase every hint for 6.0 versions (Search comdlg32.ocx)

After that it worked again.

I don't like this way of working and I will surely check the vbc.exe solution !

The solution given by Vito (13 messages above) is working !!! I have Win98 (SP2) and I downloaded the file :
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/VBC.EXE

Unzipped it, and ran the file Vbcmpfix.exe AND rebooted (very important: You know windows...!). The messages stopped and VB5 is working just fine! Thank You Vito!

Tchow and hope it solves other people's problems...

DXT '99

Thanx Vito (and the others who told 'us' about: http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/VBC.EXE)
It really worked (couldn't believe my eyes :-)

In response to #15 - THANK YOU!

Hair is now starting to re-grow on my head...
!

Ok Guys...Alot of people seemed to have their problems solved, and believe me..thats great...But as in my case (and others by the looks of things)there is still a problem. I get a message when I try to open a particular program which says That my COMDLG32.OCX may be oudated and to get the newer version, or something to that extent.
I got the "VBC.EXE" patch but it didnt change this problem.
Please help me out, any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

i have the error message that its outdated and that it couldnt find the common dialog.please help

Go to http://www.mvps.org/ccrp
(VB Common Controls Replacement Project)
and download there replacement for
comdlg32.ocx.

It work great and is free. Used it for
about two years now, and never will use
the MS control again.

i have the same problem with the license crap in windows 95. i try putting the treeview control onto the form and it gives me the message about license not found. i'll be amazed if anything from microsoft ever works. what a bunch of crap. well i will try this link
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/VBC.EXE

THE FILE HAS CHANGED !!!

It is no longer called VBC.EXE and has been re-named: VB5CLI.EXE

The MS link is now:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181/8/54.ASP

Hope this helps you all. Will

Try upgrading with Visual Basic Service Pack 3:

VBSP3.EXE (13 MB)

Good luck. Will.

PS: How is my previous message offensive?

For me it surely DOESN'T WORK!!!
But that's because I have this problem with
MScomm32.ocx and I found out thats a version issue (I have VB6-LE, and you need the enterprise or proffessioal edition)
This sucks!

Somewhat later than most of the above messages, I had the same problem starting ANYTHING in VB6.0. I got the message "Cannot load comdlg32.ocx - file may be out of date" etc. The problem was solved quite simply by doing a partial re-install of VB 6.0 (i.e. the "replace missing files" option.) This re-installed the earlier version of comdlg32.ocx.

Now why it should have re-installed an older version over a newer version is another question - well-behaved installation programs aren't supposed to do that!

My worry is whether the same problem is likely to happen to an end-user using an VB exe file? Does anyone have any idea?

Here is an Idea!!

Save all your important files to a removable media, Format your Drive and reinstall win98, VB/Dev Studio, Etc....

That will Probably Fix your Problems! :o)

A PC needs a Cleanup now and then anyways!

Here is an Idea too!!
