Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Fix for 64 bit and using vb6 apps and controls never will fail
« on: March 15, 2013, 10:17:04 am »
OK - update on an old issue --
Now the installers put the program files and libraries in the right places.. (x86) and syswow64 ...
however VB6 components (like FlexGrid control) -- are hardcoded to a location of c:\windows\system32\MSFLXGRD.OCX (in Project/Components)
so when I install on a 64 bit machine -- if these files aren't in the system32 directory -- it won't run.
Installer folks said -- change VB6 to access the "system" folder at runtime instead of a hardcoded path .....
How in the world do you do that??
Any help would be appreciated!!
