Registering an .OCX file manually and through setup program

[a3gupta]

Hello, I am using MS Flex Grid, an ActiveX control in one of my dialog boxes in my dialog based application. The OCX file for the ActiveX control is MSFLXGRD.OCX. The program works fine on my computer but doesn't work on other computers and terminates right before it gets to the dialog box with flex grid on it. Please guide me as to how I should include the OCX file in the program so that it would work on any machine. From the earlier posts it was mentioned that I could update the registry manually .. or include it in the setup file for the .ocx file. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with win registry. Could anyone please tell me how do I register the OCX file manually in registry ... and how do I go about including it in my setup program. I am making a setup program using Installshield for VC++ 6.0. If you know I will also appreciate if you could direct me to some website where I can find info about adding OCX files into the registry manually and using the setup program and doing it automatically. Thanks! Sincerely, Anjum.

Ok First I ll explain how it can be done Manually. Just copy the Ocx file in the system or any directory.Then go to that directory via Command prompt.Then type the command c:>Regsvr32 MSFlxgrid.OCX Then ur ocx file will get registerd in the system...Its simple.. If ur using Visula install shield then Put this Ocx file and make them selfRegisted in option. Thats all :) cheers, Super ------------------------------------------ Too much of good is bad,mix some evil in it
