failed to register flash9b.ocx

**Antonia** · Mar 15th, 2008, 09:03 PM

Dear all

I have used flash9b.ocx in my program to play a swf file.
The flash9b.ocx was in the directory "D:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash"

But when i finished the program and tried to set it up in my windows XP, an error occured. The file flash9b.ocx couldn't be registered in the directory "D:\WINDOWS\system32\".

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks for help.

Thread moved from CodeBank forum (which is for you to post your code examples, not questions)

We have no clue of what installer you are using.

I use VB 6

VB 6 is the environment you code in. Do you mean you use PDW?

Does the system already have a version the Flash ocx on it? Adobe doesnt let you install older versions if its already installed. Perhaps you could have it download and install it from http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer as there are other dependancies and registry entries

I installed it and the problem was gone. Wow
And the flash9b.ocx was replaced by flash9e.ocx
But does it mean that if there is a newer version like flash9f.ocx
in the future, the same problem of registration will occur again?

Anyway, thanks a lot...

Well, you probably should not be deploying just that ocx. You may need to deploy the hole installation of the flash player.

**RobDog888** · Mar 17th, 2008, 08:03 PM

Its an online install and executes various actuions on the registry and directory. It is not meant to be redistributed that way.

When installing the ocx from adobe it will remove the old version and upgrade to the current version which is flash9e.ocx. The version increment will depend on Adobe and if its a minor revision or a major increment.

As I posted, its a web install of the browser plugin.
