IFSO & Vista

So, I've gotten FLSERVER and Freelancer talking to each other over my computer, it appears accessible from the internet. Mods are installed and appear to be functioning, FLShell appears to be working.

The only program I am currently having difficulties with is IFSO. I've installed the VB6 runtimes, but every time I try to start IFSO the following error pops up:

Begin error text:

Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: A file is missing or invalid.

End error text:

I'm assuming it is because from all I have gathered Vista no longer properly supports VB6 at all. Everthing for VB has apparently moved over to .NET and they are not compatible with each other.

Has anyone figured out how to get IFSO running under Vista at all?

Thanks!!

Yep, running the latest that I know of. It keeps giving me that comdlg32.ocx error. I've tried compatibility mode and everything I can think of, including copying vb files, *.ocx *.dll etc to the IFSO main directory.

No go at all. Keeps giving me that error no matter what I try.
