LABWINDOWS VS activeX registration sucks !

[gasma1975]

I know I'm not the only one with this problem, I've been speaking with National support for a long time about that topic,National is selling us the great features of activeX, but when you are developping for another PC registration problem appears. The regsvr32 command does not solve all the registration problem, I'm loosing a lot of time because of that and my software can't be realesed, does anyone have an idea on how to register the activeX components, DONT TELL ME TO DO : regsvr32 myfile.ocx.... I've been there and done that !

Well, you may be confusing registration with licensing. Registering a control means recording information in the system registry about where to find the control OCX. That is done with regsrv32 in the way you were speaking of.

Most purchased controls also have licenses which must be present in your executable in order for the control to run properly on the other system. Are you getting a message like "Control not registered" or are you seeing an "Evaluation Version" message? If you are getting a control not registered message, then regsvr32 is the only solution I can give you. Make sure you have administration priveleges and regsvr32 should register the control.
