anyone figured out how to compile BlackD Proxy on win10? (specifically winsck.ocx)

is anyone able to compile on windows 10?


whenever i try to compile on windows 10, vb6 complains that it cannot link to mswinsck.ocx ,

and when running Dependecy Walker on it (from win10) depends.exe suggest that mswinsck.ocx loads stuff from msvcrt.dll which tries to load stuff from "API-MS-WIN-CORE-CONSOLE-L1-1-0.DLL" (and others), which doesn't exist.. tried importing those dlls from a win7 system but no dice

thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/63605347/1067003 the problem got solved, steps:

1: make sure VB6 is not running
2: copy mswinsck.ocx and msflxgrd.ocx to the %windir%\SySWOW64 folder
3: open a cmd prompt "as administrator" and run the commands:



cd "%windir%\SySWOW64"
regsvr32 -u mswinsck.ocx
regsvr32 -u msflxgrd.ocx
regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx
regsvr32 msflxgrd.ocx
exit

and restart VB6

BlackD Proxy should now compile :) (at least it did for me)
