Registering ocx

I have some workstations that will register and some that dont. It seems that there is somthing missing from the workststion like a dll.

I used the following code..

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function DllRegisterServer Lib "nwdir.ocx" () As Long
Private Declare Function DllUnregisterServer Lib "nwdir.ocx" () As Long
Const ERROR_SUCCESS = &H0


Private Sub Command1_Click()
If DllRegisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
MsgBox "Registration Successful"
Else
MsgBox "Registration Unsuccessful"
End If

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
If DllUnregisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
MsgBox "UnRegistration Successful"
Else
MsgBox "UnRegistration Unsuccessful"
End If

End Sub

On the machines that will not register I get a runtime error 48 but on other machines it works fine. The ocx is in the system dir. Mix of win95 and win98

In order for the DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer api function to work, you have to have regsvr32.exe on your computer, hopefully in the C:\Windows\System directory.

Perhaps some of the workstations are missing that file?

Out of date mfc42.dll. Thanks for the help though.

Matthew - you don't need to have regsvr32.exe...the functions are both stored in the .ocx file.

All that regsvr32.exe does is to call either of those functions.
