Is it possible to register an OCX with Regedit instead of regsvr32?
I don't believe so. You would need to use regsvr32.
Why do you ask?
For some reason the security where I am working is set up weirdly.
I have an account where I can't register components but I can modify the registry!
I need this ocx to complete some work but the helpdesk has taken 4 days so far to deal with the request!
Try doing Projects/Components
Browse to the OCX and select it.
That will register the file if it is not already registered (providing your registry isn't locked down - if it is, then you are at the mercy of your help desk)
Want it for development or just to run it?
If you're on XP or later there are alternatives.
Did you try my suggestion?
