In windows mobile 6.5 when Symbol.Imaging.Device.AvailableDevices is accessed it is throwing exception as 'IMAGE_FindFirst failed: Can't find PInvoke DLL 'ImgApi32.dll''. Can anyone tell what is going wrong or is there any way to include ImagApi32.dll in project.

On some systems windows 7/8 my vb6 application gets the msinet error 339.
Component ‘MSINET.OCX’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
I'm wondering if I need that ocx.
How can I tell if I am using the msinet.ocx? And whether I need it?
I notice Microsoft Internet Controls checked as a component and also Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 (SP6). Are either of these MSInet.ocx?
Microsoft Internet Transfer Control 6.0 (SP6). Load the OCX as a reference by filename and it tell you it's name.
Rebuild the setup program, msinet is normally included if used.
Registration issues can also crop up relating to Internet Explorer 10. If the OCX is present on the systems in question but seemingly not registered, then the solution can be to uninstall IE 10 (normally best to remove all versions of IE that Windows will let you - they're found under Windows Updates, rather than programs, incidentally). After removing these versions, you are free to reinstall the latest version of IE.
We have an old Powerbuilder app running on Server 2000 and need to move it. I am having a problem with moving the Powerbuilder app ver 7.0, to a newer platform - Server 2003.
We basically moved the directory with the app in it and all the Dlls. Then I registered the ones that would allow it. We also had to set up Informix client-side software and verified that it was able to connect to the Database.
The app basically takes 2 parameters then checks for data in a remote database, then generates a return code to be used by another app. The return code we get is unexpected and I have no luck in looking up the number:
-1073741811
The app is run from the command line. When I run the app I get a Windows error that mentions Sybase and msvcr80.dll and a dump, and the return code mentioned above - Here is the error from the manifest text:

I am surprised by the msvcr80.dll request, because this app was written around 2003 and I didnt think that c compiler was at ver 8 yet. I have used Dependency Walker and see no complaints there. I am probably in DLLHell with this thing, though... does anyone have any ideas what to look for?
Thanks in Advance!
I still have a few PB 7 applications around.
Did you try Application Compatibility?
Navigate to the folder and right click on the executable and choose the Compatibility tab.
I suggest trying
Run this program in compatibility for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Privilege Level [x] Run this program as administrator
You may need to use Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or an earlier version of Windows.
I'm working on an application developed for Windows XP SP3, using VB6. I'm currently in the process of getting it to work on Windows 7, but am encountering a problem with one of our custom OCX files.
When attempting to load a form that contains an instance of the control contained in the problem OCX, the following error is produced:
Failed to load control 'x' from y.ocx. Your version of y.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.
I've checked the version numbers and they're all correct and referencing the proper version. The OCX registers fine, and all the expected registry entries are present.
Inspection with DependencyWalker shows no missing dependencies.
The software works fine under XP, and this is (seemingly) the only issue when running on Windows 7.
Interestingly, if I run through the VB6 IDE using a VB6 group (with the offending OCX part of the group, and the application the startup project), I don't have the issue. Running the application on it's own through the IDE still presents the error.
Any ideas on what could be missing which would cause the application to throw this error?
Error occurs on both Windows 7 Professional and Home Professional, both 32 bit.
This is almost certainly an interface compatibility problem. COM interfaces are versioned entirely separately from your Major/Minor/Revision numbers, which are little more than comments except as used by Installer.
Somewhere along the line you broke binary compatibility, and you are trying to deploy a library with a newer interface than your application was compiled against.
These version numbers are found in keys such as:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{class Id GUID}\VERSION
Your program needs to have its old reference to the OCX removed, a new one set, and then it must be recompiled. This also means deleting any instances of the control and adding them back one by one.
I doubt this is a Windows 7 issue.
I would suspect this is a UAC problem. Try turning UAC off to see if that solves the immediate issue. If it does then you have to regsiter everything using 'run as administrator' and/or create a manifest for you application.
Sounds like on of the controls included in your OCX is having issues loading, not a general registration error. Look at the constructors for x control, and see if they are doing anything that disagrees with UAC or such. One way you can debug this is put some kind of a break before the control is initialized, and debug the application from Visual Studio (remember to create the PDB's in VB6), and then carry on from the break to see why the control isn't initializing.
I'm adding some functionality to an old admin tool written in VB6. The tool uses a c++ activeX object. I haven't worked on the tool since I upgraded to windows 7 and now the active X object fails to load with the 429 "ActiveX component can't create object" error. I'm not knowledgeable about VB6 but I have registered the activex dll and type library and I can remove and add the object from the project via the project->references window (the program fails to compile when the reference is removed as expected). The VB6 ide is running in administrator mode and I get the same error if I run the exe directly as an administrator.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and found a way to sort it out?
Thanks,
Patrick
PS : I have also tried putting the dll in question in the working directory of the exe
EDIT: I've had no luck trying to sort this out and ended up remoting into a windows 2003 server to test the changes.
You might try using Mark Russinovich's regMon and FileMon to see exactly what files or regkeys are being requested during the load of that dll. That can often tell you if you've got a missing dependency.
Also the DEPENDS.EXE that comes with VS6 is sometimes good for that (though it doesn't necessarily get ALL the dependencies of a dll or exe).
COM is going to use the registry to map from the class name to the physical DLL file that has to be loaded.
Check the registry keys pertaining to your COM object... first under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then the class name, which gets you the CLSID, then the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID section for the GUID of the object, and then see where the physical library lives.
A 429 could mean all sorts of different things. Many times, it means that there's a dependency missing, and the easiest way to figure out what dependency is missing is to use procmon to see what files/registry settings the app is trying to access and hopefully, catch where you get ACCESS_DENIED or FILE_NOT_FOUND or what have you.
The problem might also be with your browser. A couple weeks ago I upgraded my IE, since then I've had to make changes by opening IE, click tools, click custom, scroll to the activeX controls and enable, and/or click prompt. The same was needed for scripting and for me to use XMLHttprequest. Now everything is back to working, however the ActiveX warning alert sometimes takes over 2 minutes to pop-up, then when clicked everything works fine.
Do you have UAC enabled on that machine? Have you tried disabling it? I have seen some cases where it let ActiveX controls being registered but didn't let applications using them ran.
I am trying to debug my Windows Phone 7 app, and I am getting the following error upon launching the app in the emulator (via VS2010 debug):
Unable to start program
'\Windows\tashost.exe\'
The drive cannot locate a specific area or track.
Any ideas as what may be causing this? The most recent change I made was adding functionality to save game data, via the IsolatedStorageFile. However, it was working for a while with this functionality in there.
I found the problem. If only I had read the release notes. For anyone else that might be experiencing this issue, it is addressed in the WPDT Beta Release Notes.

what worked for me was to update my graphic card driver. Even though my computer said the device was up to date, going to the manufacturer website and downloading the latest drive allowed it to work. (using Nvidia by the way) this was after after about 5 hours of trying to figure this thing out.
also make sure you all the rest of your updates are up to date, and that directX is current.
