    I used work in a software house with all VB6/COM+ components. We never used regclean (forget the exact reasons but basicly it could fup things up more than it helped).

    Regmaid was what we used and it never gave a problem.

    how did you screw the binary compatibility?

    cleaning the registry may not help in this case and may actually make it worse

    do you have the original dlls?
