I have some vb6 applications that i'm trying to move from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have the .exe file, but when I tried to open it - it tells me that:
C:\App_1\MSCOMCTL.OCX could not be loaded - Continue Loading Project?
I searched for this file in C:\Windows\SysWow64 and found that the file is actually there as Type: ActiveX Control.
Any reason why I'm still getting the error?

If a program prompts you with an error condition “Component 'MSCOMCTL. OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid” when you try to install it on your computer, it means it cannot find the required file in the directory or the file isn't correctly registered in the computer.
The ocx control should be in your Syswow64(if 64 bit pc) folder and not in the app folder and it need to be registered manually (common vb6 problem in Win7, 8 ,10). It seems you can see the file but it might not be registered. Run cmd in administrator mode, type "regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.

This should solve the problem
