Can Intel's Open Source UPnP Library be Used with VB6?

Question

Just a question, as I was unable to register the related upnp.dll provided by the intel open source upnp tools package (as provided here: http://opentools.homeip.net/dev-tools-for-upnp ) from the VB6 references dialog, it said something to the effect of "can't register .dll", but since it is written in (i think) C or C++ I figured there would be a way to make it useable somehow.

I am mainly thinking of moving to intel's upnp because microsofts upnp.dll is not letting me progress further due to the following issue (works in .NET but not in VB6): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4022939/getting-ip-address-using-upnp-invokeaction-not-returning-anything-help

Would anyone know how I would go about getting intel's upnp.dll (registers correctly in C# and VB.NET) to work in VB6?

thanks

Answer 1

I have a file called upnp.dll in the windows\system32 folder on my 32bit XP install. I KNOW I haven't installed any intel SDKs.

I can regsvr32 that file, add a reference to it in VB6 and view the exposed classes just fine.

Is the UPNP.dll you're talking about something else? Could you make use of the version that appears to be included with windows?
