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.

Did you try running regsvr32 in Command Prompt, by right-clicking on Command
Prompt and choosing "Run as Administrator"?

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"

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.

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.

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?

All you need to do to register the OCX is to open a CMD window and type:

regsvr32 pklink.ocx

If that isn't working have you contacted the developer and asked them why
you can't register the OCX? They may know about an issue with this OCX file
being registered.
