Hi,

I have VB 5.0 professionnal with SP2 installed on my machine and I get this
message when i want to add or use the MSFlexGrid control. I get this error
message: License information not found for this component ...

I know that other peoples reported similar bugs with other controls such
MSComm32. I've tried to un and re-install VB5 and SP2 with no luck. I've
also tried to un and re-register the ocx with regsvr32, again better
results.

I looked the file Vbctrls.reg found on the cd, and i tried it. But I don't
think its applicable with the MSFlexGrid control.

I've also looked everywhere for a solution and tried everything and I'm not
able to make it work.

I think I'll be a candidate for the asylum if I don't find the trouble...

If someone could help, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What's happening is that msflxgrd.ocx isn't correctly registering the
License info in your registry.

Try this in the order

1.) Unregister the component (regsvr32 /u msflxgrd.ocx) (I think that's
the name)
2.) Go into your registry (run regedit) and search for msflxgrd.ocx
3.) Register it with regsvr32 again

if that don't work try

1.) Double click on vbctrls.reg

if that don't work

1.) Find someone with VB5 installed and have them export their Licenses
registry node to a .reg and then just double click on the .reg file (I'd
attach mine, but I have sheridan and crystal and other stuff installed too)

if that don't work

1.) Find your win95 disc because you might be looking at reinstalling your
OS and everything else

p.s. Anyone willing to take a clean machine and install just VB5 pro or
enterprise and post an attached exported license information?

Try reinstalling just the VB4.0 32-bit Custom Controls, this worked
for me.

Hey, do you forgot the step between 2 and 3?

2.5) Erase every key instance related to MSFLXGRD.OCX found with the
registry editor.

I got the same problem too! It start with msflxgrd.ocx then another control
and another.

I had the problem with RDO when I upgrade from VB5 Pro to VB5 Enterprise, so
I have a feeling that it doesn't have to do with VB4 even though this
happens to most people who have VB4 installed and then try to upgrade to
VB5. But the problem is definitely Registry Licenses related. For some
reason it registers the control but not the License. But if they're just
having problems with the Custom Controls like you did, then they're on the
VB5 disc somewhere.

I finally solved my problem exporting the licenses form another computer's
registry. That bug causes and is still causing too much trouble to everone.
I suggest that we send massive complaints about the problem to Microsoft. I
even told them that I will use Delphi 3 for my future projects...

thanks for everybody's help.
