Hi All,
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I've spent a couple of days searching and not come up with this problem anywhere else so far.
I recently setup Visual Basic 6 on windows 7 x64, which is fine. I installed sp6, everything has been done as admin, and a number of ocx's where manually registered into the syswow64 folder.
Our vb projects open fine on these machines (I have 3 setup), and build without problem.
However, when I attempt the build the application from the command line using vb6 /make, I get no output (except a blank log file when using that open), and the event log shows there was an app crash in vb6.
Faulting application name: VB6.EXE, version: 6.0.81.76, time stamp: 0x3592011f
Faulting module name: VB6.EXE, version: 6.0.81.76, time stamp: 0x3592011f
Exception code: 0xc0000094
Fault offset: 0x00082a61
Faulting process id: 0x970
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce24f8b00fdb2f
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.EXE
Report Id: ef0f90e7-90eb-11e2-9297-00155d002907
If I create a new vb6 app, with no ocx controls, then I have no problems. But as soon as I add the controls needed then this crash occurs again.
The following are a list of the controls. I have tried a few of these on their own, and in various combinations with no joy.
Microsoft Common Dialog Control 36.0 (SP6) - comdlg32.ocx
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library - fm20.ocx
Microsoft Hierarchical FlexGrid Control 6.0 (SP4)(OLEDB) - mshflxgd.ocx
Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0 (SP6) - richtx32.ocx
Microsoft Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0 (SP6) - tabctl32.ocx
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0 (SP2) - comctl32.ocx
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) - mscomctl.ocx
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 (SP6) - mscomct2.ocx
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-3 6.0 (SP4) - comct332.ocx
Outrider SpinButton Control - spin32.ocx
Sheridan 3D Controls - threed32.ocx
After this, I tried some other random controls, trying to use something that I did not have to manually install myself, I managed to get a test application building using;
Microsoft Calender Control 8.0 - mscal.ocx
but a number of others displayed the same issue.
This one has me stumped, and I am about to try and uninstall all the controls I manually installed and try again, but given that it fails on controls I didn't install also, I doubt this will fix. And the fact that it builds\runs fine from within the IDE just does my head in.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone come across a similar issue before?
Any assistance is great appreciated.
