This means you're using a COM component and it's either not registered, or it's failing to start.

If you have no idea what COM object to register, one has to wonder how you know what you're doing at all. It's your component, you are using it. You register it with regsvr32 followed by the path to the file, in the console window.

Adding a reference probably requires it to be registered, in which case, what you need is to read the documentation for the object, to see what you are doing wrong. Does this component have any sort of UI ? A clean conversion would have you replace this with your own code, VB6 just used COM objects a lot because it was rubbish.

you may also need to specify the threading model for the app in order to make it all work.

If you're using a random DLL and have no idea where it came from, then probably your only choice is to just ditch it and rewrite the functionality. It's possible in any case that it's expecting to create VB6 compatible forms and it's not working in a managed environment.
