I got a "Blast from the Past" project request.
The project was originally developed in VB6 and later ported to VB.Net. The last time it ran in the IDE it was on a Win XP Machine running VB.Net 2003.
I have been asked to dust off the source and make some minor modifications (plus bring it into the latest VB.Net, 2010). Current development platform is Windows 7, running VB.Net 2010 Express. I also installed VB6, dispite complaints from Windows 7 stating there were known issues.
The source code loads, but will not run. The warnings displayed are as follows:
Cannot load type library for reference "StdType". Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))
Cannot load type library for reference "MSXML2". Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))
The reference list in the solution explorer shows warning notices on "MSXML2", "StdFormat", and "StdType"
Any ideas on how to fix these missing references?
TIA
