MScomctl.ocx problem

[Sprinter]

I'm using TreeView component from MScomctl.ocx ver.6.
Problem appears when I try to run my Vi on the PC where MS Office isn't
installed.
I registered OCX by means of regsvr32 successfully but my Vi can't load
TreeView componenet.
When I try to load it manualy : pop up menu on the ActiveX container ->
Insert ActiveX Object - Microsoft TreeView Control 6 is available but after
selection there is nothing happen and my ActiveX container remains still
empty.
This case concerns W2K. On the PC with W98 that ActiveX control acts in a
symilar way with a one difference, I can load TreeView Control manualy from
popup menu on ActiveX container.

With regards

Grzegorz,
1 - These controls are not licensed for use on a "clean machine", or in your case a machine that does not have MS Office installed. The license is installed by VB. The controls should work after installing Visual Studio.
2 - VB ships a reg file you can merge into your registry called VBCTRLS.REG
3 - More information in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q177/7/99.asp

I saw on another post on the same issue that registering also nicont.dll and nicontdt.dll fixed this problem, so you can try that first.
