Dude, you rule. These things need msvbvm50.dll and 2003 only has
msvbvm60.dll by default.
Much thanks!

In the Support Tools for Windows 2003 is a program called depends.exe.
Run it and open the .ocx file and see if it indicates what additional
.dlls are missing.

I know we have a client with OCX's from 1997 that work on 2003 without
SP1, you might try it on a system without SP1. Also, if you can identify
the missing DLL's you may be able to copy them from an older system.
Another thing to consider is locating an old installer, sometimes they
include runtime files that are required in addition to the OCX files.

I have some in house codec apps that use a variety of OCX's, some of
them very old (one back from 99). All of them have worked on everything
from 98 through XP SP2, but it appears many of these OCX's won't
register on 2003 Server SP1. They get a standard LoadLibrary error,
which from my research indicates that some DLL's that the OCX needs to
register itself are not installed on the system, which seems valid.
The likelihood of these custom apps being updated is small, and some of
these OCX's are so old the companies don't exist. So I'm not sure how I
go about getting these working, any thoughts?
