ImgEdit and ImgAdmin controls

[joan]

I have a VB6 application that uses the kodak imgedit.ocx
and imgadmin.ocx. THe application has been running on
windows 98 and 2K

I now need to run it on a WinXP pc. I can see that MSFT
no longer licenses those controls from Kodak. I even took
a look at eiStream and bought a license for their updated
XP compliant version of the controls, but still cannot
get the compiled VB application to run on my WinXP pc.

I saw some indication that there have been work-arounds
posted, but I cant seem to find them.

Can anyone point me to some help? Thanks, Joan

Hello Joan, I see this is two years old. Have you resolved this yet?

I had a similar problem using VBA, and managed to resolve it by hacking
Internet Explorer registry entries (oddly enough), as below:

Note the classIDs of each imaging control from Hkey_classes_root (note
on paper, or whatever), then locate these ids in the "folders" below

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\ActiveX
compatability

you must set their compatability flags to 0

I know this seems odd- i had got this instruction from some site, and
it works. Let me know if anything is not clear
