VB6 error: Property OleObjectBlob in XXXXX could not be set

I am trying to run an .ocx library for a VB6 project that I have. However, every time that it calls the first object property, it generates the error below:

Line 937: Property OleObjectBlob in ICImagingControl1 could not be set.
Line 937: Cannot load control ICImagingControl1; license not found.

Some forums mention that the cause is using an old VB6 version, or a missing file FM20ENU.DLL in System32 (my case SYSWOW64). I already upgraded too the latest VB6 version (which is still quite old) and made sure the file was in t开发者_高级运维he right folder. Neither of them worked for me, any ideas why is this issue happening?

Thanks

I installed and uninstalled several times the software, which created a reference to the wrong ocx in the registry. To solve this, I uninstalled IC Imaging Control, proceeded to erase the references in the tree, and reinstalled the proper version.

I was asked by a client of mine to edit an old vb6 project and ran in the same problem.

Googled for a solution until I found this:

Downloaded and executed the program and the project could be perfectly edited.

The following controls are no longer supported by Microsoft Visual Basic:

ActiveX Control Name                Filename
------------------------------------------------
Desaware Animated Button Control    ANIBTN32.OCX
Microhelp Gauge Control             GAUGE32.OCX
Pinnacle-BPS Graph Control          GRAPH32.EXE

The ActiveX controls listed above are no longer supported, but ship with the
Professional and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for backward
compatibility when upgrading existing projects.

These controls do not ship with the Learning Edition of Microsoft Visual Basic.

For the Professional and Enterprise Editions, the controls are located on the
installation CDs at the following locations:

Microsoft Visual Basic Edition        Location
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Professional 6.0                      \Common\Tools\VB\Controls
Enterprise 6.0                        \Common\Tools\VB\Controls
Visual Studio Professional 6.0        \Common\Tools\VB\Controls (CD2)
Visual Studio Enterprise 6.0          \Common\Tools\VB\Controls (CD3)


Each of these directories contain a README.TXT with instructions on how to
install the controls for design-time use.

NOTE: Using the Learning Edition to upgrade a project developed in an earlier
version of Microsoft Visual Basic might result in licensing problems for these
controls.

The VBUSC.EXE installs the design-time licenses for the controls listed above if
Visual Basic is detected on the computer.
