Assistance with TabControl / Project Upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a VB5 project that uses XtremeSuite Controls v11.2.2 (specifically the tab control) to VB.NET (Visual Studio 2008).

When I try to open the upgraded form in VS2008 I get the following:

Catastrophic failure(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Call Stack:

My assumption is that for whatever reason the XtremeSuite TabControl will not work at all in .NET.

Can anyone provide some guidance as to how we can get our forms to open, even if it's just to remove these controls?

Thanks.
