Question VB6 .NewMap error since upgrade

My applications that were developed using VB6 and MapPoint 2004 have been crashing with an error stating that MapPoint is not installed on the system since I have upgraded to MapPoint 2006.

When I check my references, MapPoint control 11.0 is selected (the path points to windows\system32\MappointControl.oca). [Edit: It is supposed to be version 13.0 I just realized, but it is not... I will try reinstalling MapPoint and see if the control's update]

There is, however, another reference with the same name that points to MappointControl.ocx. I suspect this may be the control I want to point to, but I am stuck:

I cannot uncheck the original control because VB says its in use. I cannot select the other control because it is named the same and causes a conflict (and thus, is not selected.

Everything starts up fine, but as soon as I call .newmap GeoMapNorthAmerica, I get an error.

Is there something I am missing here?
