Upgrading VB 5.0 Application to VB.NET

vb.net upgrade:
From VB.NET, I try to open a project developed in VB 5.0. The Visual Basic
Upgrade Wixard fails on page 5 of 5 with the following message.
"It is recommended you install VB6.0, with all reference components, and
ensure the application compiles and runs before upgrading." If I had VB 6.0 I
would do this, but I don't have VB6.0.

The problem is you need to have the design time licenses for the ActiveX
controls in your VB 5 project.

This KB article addresses the problem and offers a solution:
