Visual Basic 6 (VB6)

This category contains Visual Basic 6 runtimes and files (often .OCX files) which are or might be required for some of my legacy projects and products.

NOTE: These runtimes and files are Third Party (developed by Microsoft®) and are not developed by XNL Future Technologies!

Nor do we offer any support on or for these runtimes. They are provided as-is, just to make sure you can keep using my (and our) legacy projects and/or products.

  • comctl32.ocx (VB6 Runtime file)

    This is a file which is often reported missing when trying to run applications written in Visual Basic 6 on newer operating systems like Windows 10.

    The COMCTL32.OCX file is the library which ‘delivers’ the Windows Common Controls and is (was) provided by Microsoft. However in newer versions of Windows this file is no longer present.

    Some older programs (which otherwise still run fine on newer Windows versions) do however still depend on this file being present on your system in order to run properly.

    NOTE: Please read the information and instructions bellow on how to use/install this file before downloading it.

  • Visual Basic 6 SP5 Runtimes (VB6)

    These are the Visual Basic 6 SP5 runtimes which where required when installing (or running) applications developed with Visual Basic 6 on older operating systems.

    Since we still have some (vintage) computers running operating systems like Windows 98 (SE), Windows 2000 and Windows XP and are sometimes still using projects needing these runtimes we decided to make them available for those legacy projects if uses needed them.

    IMPORTANT NOTE
    You do not need to install these runtimes from Windows Vista and up (including Windows 10!), because since Windows Vista these runtimes are integrated into the operating system!
