--- Comment #17 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

confirming, still present.

prerequisite: 'winetricks -q vb6run comctl32ocx tabctl32'

The app complains about missing 'MSCOMCT2.OCX' (Microsoft Windows Common
Controls-2 6.0) on startup.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381

Download: http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomct2.cab

Maybe this could be added to winetricks.

--- snip ---

The exception is thrown from VB6 runtime on __vbaAryRecCopy entry, it doesn't
expect psa->fFeatures = 0x32 (FADF_RECORD | FADF_FIXEDSIZE | FADF_STATIC).

There is a test for psa->fFeatures flags: if any of (FADF_FIXEDSIZE |
FADF_EMBEDDED | FADF_STATIC | FADF_AUTO) set (0x17) -> throw.
The FADF_RECORD type is ok (expected).

Maybe native 'sanitizes' some feature flags during first __vbaAryRecCopy from
target safearray hence the second time when the safe array is now passed as
source array these flags are not present (the app VB code doesn't touch them in
between both __vbaAryRecCopy calls).

The caller is 'VMComps.dll' which consists of VB6 compiled native code (called
from main VB6 VMXBuilder.exe).
