OS
windows 11
Neither the main vb6 install or the service pack 6 install completes without error
I cannot manually register tabctl32.ocx and neither can vb6 install
vb6 does run but it is not installing itself correctly

suggestion was open a new thread

Also for win11 there is a youtube video explains how to install on 11,
which worked for him and which I followed

And on vbforums.com, people also succesfully install vb6, but some have a problem like this

did snap a screen of the sp6 failure to install, the main vb6 installer says same thing at the end of the process

I read on vbforums if the vb6 is not installed correctly, neither will it's service pack
