[VB6][Help]Component went missing[Help][VB6]

[Schfoo]

I was messing around and trying to make a simple web browser. It worked once but when I saved the project and tried opening it again the ieframe.dll went missing. It's not even in my system32 folder.

Has this happened to anyone else?

If so please help me.

Download the dll again then.

It said something about the download expired :S

Edit:
Okay it's not the .dll file, the file is there.

VB6 tries adding a /1 to the end after .dll
So it looks something like this:
C:/WINDOWS/sysem32/ieframe.dll/1 was not found

Any fixes for that?

Go to VB set and then do a repair on it make sure you have the project(s) that you have done backed-up.

I haven't been using vb6 for long so I don't know where exactly that is. :S

 

[Junkers]

Are you using a real or downloaded version of VB6...?

 

[Schfoo]

I'm using the one off the Holograph Emulator's website.

 

[Junkers]

Probably real then.

I'd say reinstall it, that way maybe all the components will return with it. Why not make a Browser in VB2005? So much easier ^_^

I was just messing around xD
I mostly use vb6 to try learning how to make emulators.

Ok I got the problem upgrading to IE7 so this is most likely because you upgraded to Internet Explorer 7? (I'm guessing), basically once you save your project with IE 7 installed its going to get corrupted.

What I did was, go onto another computer with IE 6 installed (Or you can just "add and remove programs" uninstall IE 7 - this reverts you to your previously installed version, in my case IE 6) I copy and pasted all my code from my corrupted VB program into another new program, recreated forms and saved (under this IE 6 environment) program works successfully, removed IE 7 from my computer retried program and it works. Needless to say IE 7 is not being reinstalled at this time. Please note the corrupted programs do not work under IE 6.

Uninstalling and reinstalling IE 7 did not work, did multiple times. Going to the Project menu in Visual Basic then References. Looking for Microsoft Internet Controls, clicking, then browsing from ieframe.dll to shdocvw.DLL did not work (VB programs under IE 6 link to shdocvw.OCA, I did not search for this file under IE 7. Someone can try this by resetting from the default file browser filter to *.*) maybe linking to the OCA file under IE 7 will work also.

Thanks I'll try that out =]

 

[Parker]

Have you upgraded to IE7?

 

[Schfoo]

Back On Track Here's your Solution:
Go on Your program Source thingy, And Press Ctrl T (Should Be On Compoents Box)
Now Click Browse And look For A DLL That's Somethinf Like This:
shdocvw.DLL
Now it Should look Like That Globe Thingy. Now It Should Work FINE!
