ID: Q195185

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Studio versions 6.0, 97
Microsoft Visual InterDev, versions 1.0, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

After you uninstall or remove Visual InterDev 1.0, Microsoft Forms 2.0 objects are no longer properly registered. When you try to add a Microsoft Forms 2.0 control to a project, the following error appears:

Class not registered.
Looking for object with CLSID: {C62A69F0-16DC-11CE-9E98-00AA00574A4F}

When you pass a Microsoft Forms 2.0 ProgID to the CreateObject() function (for example, Set objForm = CreateObject("Forms.Form.1")), the following error appears:

ActiveX component can't create object.

When you attempt to open an existing project that uses Forms 2.0 controls, you might receive one of the previous errors, or the following error:

Errors occurred during load.
Can't load or unload this object

The CLSIDs and ProgIDs that are removed are listed in the following table:
