Question:
I’ve tried to reinstall VB5, and I’ve installed Service Pack 3, but every time I try to use the Tabbed Dialogue control (TABCTL32.OCX), I get this message in the error log file. This also occurs with the Common Dialog Control (COMDLG32.OCX). What can I do to fix the problem?

Answer:
See the MSDN article Q181854, “FILE: Vbc.exe Fixes VB 5.0 Control Installation Problem.” Basically, you will need to download the file VBC.EXE from the Microsoft Software library and run the included Vbcmpfix program.
