DLL HELL

Faced DLL hell issues after a real long time.
In the dev env, we compiled the VB6 dll and tested it and it worked fine.
But the minute we put it in test, it started off giving the CLSID errors.
We then registered, unregistered quite a few times. Turned out that there were multiple registrations of the same DLL. So we uninstalled all the versions, took the latest from VSS, compiled the DLL again, regsitered it and it finally worked.
Took around 2 whole days for it!!

Not a valid assembly (Add Reference failure)

When trying to add a reference to a VB DLL, you may receive the following error popup: A reference to

'assemblyname.exe' could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM

component. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a

valid assembly or COM component.

WorkAround:-
There were some on the net, but I registered the DLL using regsvr and added it from the COM components tab and it worked fine.
