When I am trying to build the exe in VB6, I am getting a pop up saying that a particular form cannot be loaded. When I checked its log file, it says "Cannot load TabStrip."

The same thing is working fine in another machine having Microsoft Visual Basic 6 (SP5) and running Windows server 2003. But we are facing issue when we are trying to build this in Windows Server 2012.

Can anyone please help me out with this ?

you are missing an activex dll (or not registerd) – Thomas Krojer Jul 07 '15 at 13:07
should be part of the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0". – Thomas Krojer Jul 07 '15 at 13:09
Yes mscomctl.ocx is already registered, I even re- registered it again but it still the same issue. – user1711034 Jul 08 '15 at 06:49
Maybe this SO question is a hint: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20727568/visual-studio-6-windows-common-controls-6-0-sp6-windows-7-64-bit – Thomas Krojer Jul 08 '15 at 07:33

No more ideas from my side – Thomas Krojer Jul 08 '15 at 09:50

The VB6 IDE is [not supported on Windows Server 2012](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nikosan/archive/2012/04/20/support-statement-for-visual-basic-6-0-on-windows-8.aspx). Rather than fight this for a development tool that was end-of-lifed 7 years ago, create a Windows XP VM and do your VB6 development there. – C-Pound Guru Jul 08 '15 at 13:17
