| Guest | Registering missing .ocx & .dll files No matter what I do, I cannot succesfully register these files. I have even downloaded 3rd party "registering programs". I have placed the files in my system32 folder, and have also tried Run, regsvr32 protocol. Is this because Vista is not supporting VB 6.0 ? What alternatives do I have? Microsoft, you really should address this issue. |

| Guest | Re: Registering missing .ocx & .dll files Did you try running regsvr32 in Command Prompt, by right-clicking on Command Prompt and choosing "Run as Administrator"?

| Guest | Re: Registering missing .ocx & .dll files I just did. There is no such option when I right click. This is a very odd problem that doesnt make much sense. Im now getting this message when I try to register - "The module "c\windows\system\........" was loaded but the call to DllRegister server failed with error code 0x80004005" "dean-dean" wrote: > Did you try running regsvr32 in Command Prompt, by right-clicking on Command > Prompt and choosing "Run as Administrator"? > > "Mike M" <Mike M@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:5ADE041C-4A4B-42BC-A4D3-F58C447D4FB6@microsoft.com... > > No matter what I do, I cannot succesfully register these files.

| Guest | Re: Registering missing .ocx & .dll files In my experience, a number of commands, including regsvr32, will not work unless cmd.exe is run as administrator. The Command Prompt window will clearly indicate when it is running with administrative privileges, with "Administrator: Command Prompt" written in the title bar. All .exe type files (and the shortcuts pointing to them) should have a tab in the file's Properties, called "Compatibility", where you can put a check in a box for "Run this program as an administrator', as well as having the right-click option I mentioned before. With UAC turned off, I believe cmd.exe, by default, is run as administrator. The Dependency Walker tool, http://www.dependencywalker.com/, might help point to what you're missing if your .dll' and .ocx's are dependent on a certain runtime, etc. "Mike M" <MikeM@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ECE7C578-341D-492B-8B62-40EF31113A27@microsoft.com... > > I just did.

| Guest | Re: Registering missing .ocx & .dll files Mike I don't mean to bounce you around, but these newsgroups are primarily focused on the end user of Microsoft products, although some folks involved in developement do post here occasionally. MSDN has a very comprehensive forum where software developers can speak directly with the developers at Microsoft. These forums cover every aspect of building software, drivers, etc, for every product that Microsoft produces. It's likely that the problem you are experiencing has already been addressed and a solution found. Go there, select the most appropriate forum and post your question.

| Guest | Re: Registering missing .ocx & .dll files I'm one of the end users mentioned, and have a problem registering a .ocx file. The install program will not register it, I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, using the option "run as administrator", and it still will not do so. The file is installed in system32. I have tried using regsvr32, but keep getting error of "need binary name", the only name I have is the file name "pklink.ocx". What is the exact wording to use with regsvr32? Can someone tell a dummy how to do it?

They may know about an issue with this OCX file being registered. |
