CVI/Labwindows IDE's ActiveX Not Registered

[kellyd822]

After our IT group reimaged our Windows 7 workstations, Labwindows 2013 is unable to load or create new distributions (.cds). This problem is seen on all of our existing projects and entirely new projects without any code/front panels/etc. When the Manage Distributions window is opened, the new distribution button is selected, the Edit Installer window appears and then the windows are closed without changing any of the options the  "ActiveX Control registered on this computer" popup appears.

Does anyone know if an .ocx's needs to be registered for the Labwindows IDE to work?

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps listed in this KB? Also could you provide a screenshot of the popup you are seeing?

The steps listed in the KB did not solve this problem. The ActiveX is not registered error message is seen in the LabWindows/CVI IDE on a workstation with a full NI tool set and not on a distributed application with ActiveX components. Attached is a screen shot of the error message. Thank you,

Does this occur with a completely new blank project? This error message should only appear if there are any ActiveX controls present in the project. If there are ActiveX controls, you can also try to register them using the steps from this Microsoft help page:
