Error when lauching Config.exe

[sub]

Dear sub,

my folder C:\Program files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins is empty.

R.

Its five months since you posted your original problem - are you still having this problem?

[sub]

From the error message, I'm guessing something installed on your machine has installed an older version of the Windows common controls DLL, or something similar.

Yes indeed, I still have this problem on the PC.

my version of comctl32.dll is 5.82.2900.2982,

Ok, its not that file the - I'm using the same verison.

I'm not really sure what to suggest. The error is failing when it asks Windows to create a 'checked tree view' control. I'm not sure what would cause that.

I had a look on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649534.aspx as those are linked... right?

[sub]

They're the same versions I'm using.

It is all about theme...? does it help?

seems to come sometime after Application.EnableVisualStyles();
could you send me a trial version with this line disabled?

[sub]

Those threads seem to talk about the problem occuring when they call Application.EnableVisualStyles(). I dont call this function. ...but I do use the manifest file to tell window to use the new visual styles.

You could try editing the Config.exe.manifest to remove the <dependency> section entirely.

I still receive the same error...
SEHException: External component has thrown an exception.

maybe another direction.... are you using "Skybound VisualStyles" ?
they have a free version to download which seems to resolve this issue....
