Help with registering VB ActiveX EXE

[Mikef]

I have an ActiveX EXE that I've compiled and used on 2 of the 3 TS 3.1 systems here. We updated all the files from SourceSafe to pull in all the changes, on the 3rd system and found that the "TestListForm.EXE" wasn't registered on that system (WinXP). I tried the "regsvr32 TestListForm.exe" but XP said that it wasn't a "DLL or OCX" and ignored it. I also made sure that I pointed to the correct file in the Active-X step that calls the file within TestStand.

It wasn't until I recompiled the EXE on that computer (within VB) that it worked correctly.

Is there another way that the ActiveX EXE files need to be registered into the XP system?

There are a few more systems that we will eventually need to install this ActiveX EXE on that won't have VB.

To register an ActiveX exe, call the exe from the command line with the commandline parameter /RegServer.

For example:

MyServer.exe /RegServer

Hope this helps,
