So I’m trying to practice for the MCTS Exam 70-536 exam using the practice test that comes with the self paced training kit book, but keep getting this error every time I run it. I’m on Vista SP1. Doesn’t look like I’m the only one either. I sent in a request to the MS people so we’ll see.

I never found an answer beyond using Virtual PC to install it on an XP image I use for development testing.
Does this only on Vista, works fine on XP. Vista blows
I got in touch with the software vendor and come to find out this maybe a Vista SP1 issue. They suggested reinstalling .net 2.0. I’ll be giving this a shot shortly.
i have similar problem. i have vista home premium and everything was working fine. today i’ve installed some windows updates and after that training kit stopped working. it still works when i try to run ‘Lesson Reviews’ and it returns me ‘unanticipated error’ when i try ‘Practice tests’. i tried to run training kit as administrator and got this ‘library not registered’ error. i hope that it is still possible to change some permissions somewhere but, as it was alredy was written here, i’m afraid the only one working solution will be to install virtual windows xp and never install any updates on it.
Alex,
The problem is Vista SP1, yes you will need to run this in a XP VM. I would also suggest you get the TestKing version of this practice test before taking the exam.

I got that problem too; I’m using vista home and looking for a solution for this error!

Try running this:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\Vsocx6.ocx
Fixed it for me!
Jim, thx, your solution worked for me too.
Thanks, Jim! Your solution worked for me as well.
On Vista 64-bit use
regsvr32 C:\Windows\syswow64\Vsocx6.ocx
It seems like fixing the test software is part of the exam. So, if you actually manage to install and run the exam software then you pass. 😉
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\Vsocx6.ocx fix works for me too..
I had lost hope of a fix.
Many thanks for your solution Jim.
Thanks Jim…worked for me too.
thanx a lot ,worked for me too.
Thanks Spiral. The 64bit version was a godsend!
Thanks for your help regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\Vsocx6.ocx worked like a charm. This is a great site.
TKS Spiral works fine on Vista 64 bits. Tks soh much.
It is looking an logical error.
In spite of the fact that Windows has for the most part turned out to be more steady and dependable after some time, it will never be great. Applications hang (quit reacting) or crash (closed down suddenly). Every so often, an element of Windows strolls off the occupation all of a sudden.
This post is exciting.
