Hi,
I did a project using databases and MS mail api. It works fine on my computer, But if I try to install into someone else's computer it gives a error. Looks like MSMAPI32.OCX and MSADODB.OCX are missing in their comp. I am using InnoSetup and how can I install these OCX files when the they run the setup?
Thanks & Cheers!
Kumar
What is the error message?
You have to include them in your setup package to be installed and registered. How did you create you script by hand? Take a look at Inno Setup Third Party Tools in my signature. Perhaps you will find something that can help you generate a complete script with all dependencies and will register them also.
It says MSMAPI31.OCX not registered or missing. Same with MSADODB.OCX. When i manually put it those files into system32 folder, it works fine.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot. I will try to use that. It looks pretty easy. Meanwhile I have another question. if I copy those ocx files into the system32 folder, the program starts up ok. The MAPI works and sends mail. But if I try to connect to a access database it says "ADODC1 - Provider cannot be found, it may not be properly installed" and then gives a error "Run time error 3706, application-defined or object-defined error" and closes the program. Why does it happen? What should I do?
Cheers!

But those are the two files which my project says missing when I install in a different comp. But copying the files in solves the problem of starting the program but only it doesnt run. I dont know what else i am missing. How do I find that out? Probably I shuld post a copy of my work.
The program can be found at www.andrews.edu/~gunaseka/project

to register the OCXs, goto
Start -> Run.
in the Run dialog box type
RegSvr32.exe path and name of the OCX
when you create a setup package using Inno, it doesnot create scripts which actually installs the VB runtime packages and other Active X components required by your project. for this you need 3rd party Script editors for Inno. please take a look here for such editors.
midway,
Then you did not create a proper installation.
THanks, I tried registering the ocx as you said but still I get the same problem. "ADODC1 - Provider cannot be found, it may not be properly installed" and then gives a error "Run time error 3706, application-defined or object-defined error" and closes the program. I dont know what is wrong.
You can download the program from www.andrews.edu/~gunaseka/project and check it out.
Cheers!

Ok, I have zipped my project and uploaded it. Please take a look. There are two VB project files "ng" and "project". "project.vbp" is the working one.
Thanks in advance
Cheers!

I tried installing it on a friends computer and ran it. Then it popped an error message saying that msadodb.ocx and msmapi32.ocx files are not installed or not registered properly. :(
CHeers!

Hi
I used to have similar problem.
U need to register the ocx.Showing the steps for registering the msflexgrid.ocx
2.0 Copy msflexgrid.ocx to root C:\ drive, so that its path becomes C:\ msflxgrd.ocx.
3.0 Click Start->Run from main window
4.0 Following dialog box will appear. Type regsvr32 C:\msflxgrd.ocx and press Ok.
A message will appear on process success.
Most of the installers have the option of registering the OCX files.
Perhaps the MAPI has a service pack that needs to be installed for those controls to work properly.
Let me try doing that. I will let you know. THanks a lot.
Cheers!
Kumar
