msWinSck.ocx: Run-Time Error 429 ActiveX Component can't create ob

[faffo1980]

Hi all,
i am trying to use a socket controller inside a VBA application.
I'm using Windows Vista and Excel 2003.
I downloaded the winSock.ocx file and put it in c:\windows\system32
Then I registered the library through the regsvr32 command.

Unfortunately I keep on getting errors:
- If I try to istantiate the winsock object run time I get the error 429 in
the subject
- If I try to put the controller inside a form I receive another error; i
translate it from the italian message: "subject is not authorized executing
specified action"

Could anyone help me?

Thanks for your help

Hope you have a licensed version. See the installation procedures here

How can I verify if whether my version is a licensed one?

This works solves the subject is not trusted issue for me. Not sure if you
need to have VB6 installed (I do)

Hope there's no misunderstanding. When I said "I do" I meant I already had
VB6 installed. I vaguely recall that the Winsock is only licensed to VB6
users though I assume can be redistributed by VB6 users, not sure about the
status.
