'Cannot find DAO350.dll' file error VB6

Question

After installing VB6 successfully on my Windows 8.1 64bit pc, whenever i am trying to open my .vbp project file it gives me an error can't find DAO350.dll file. Googled for every possible solution but couldn't find one.

Please help me.

[UPDATE]

[UPDATE1]: It looks something like this

Answer 1

On the Visual Basic 6.0 CD (or whatever your installation source is), locate the Dao350.dll file, and then copy it to the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98.

After applying this fix. The Visual Basic 6 can now run successfully on your Computer.

NOTE: The Dao350.dll file is located in the \os\system folder on the Visual Basic 6.0 CD.

Answer 2

The DA0350.dll must be registered. Try this:

On the Visual Basic 6.0 CD (or whatever your installation source is), locate the Dao350.dll file, and then copy it to the directory c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO. (The Dao350.dll file is located in the \os\system folder on the Visual Basic 6.0 CD.)

To register this file, click Start, click Run, and then type or paste the following line:

Regsvr32 "c:\program files (x86)\common files\microsoft shared\DAO\Dao350.dll"

Update:

The VB6TMPL.TLB is probably not installed for your current user. Try to run Visual Basic as administrator and/or try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262976/en-us

Answer 3

From the command prompt, execute the following commands:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO
regsvr32 dao350.dll
