VB6 application compatibility issue with Windows 10

This is a tough question, not sure there's an answer.

An ERP System, Macola, is being upgraded and requires the OS to move from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10 x64.

There are customizations that are in the VB6 tools built into Macola. They all work except one that generates a Crystal Report. This one fails on one function named, .PrintTheDocumentCrw11() with Error: 429 - ActiveX Component can't create object. This would seem to indicate that the activeX object it's not able to create is the Crystal Report ActiveX.

The VB6 runtime is there, MSVBVM60.dll in the x64 directory. The Crystal Report runtime is installed as well, but I noticed it's a newer version.

I ran dependency walker on the exe, but because it has to run within the Macola ERP environment and not as a standalone, it's very difficult to check things.

Any ideas on any good tools I might use to troubleshoot this.

Thanks
