[RESOLVED] Register OCX's

How do you register ocx's using vb code.

I thought it would be like the code below but it comes up with an error.

VB Code:

Shell "regsvr32 (app.path + "\data\ocx\mscomctl.ocx")"

Thanks in advance chris1990

Are you trying to distribute a program that uses that ocx or are you trying to use in in your VB IDE?

i am making an install for my program but my program wont run without the ocx, so i am trying to install the ocx when installing my program.

Moved.

You don't need to make your own installer. Just use the P&D Wizard that comes with VB or Inno which is also free.

i am installing more than one program at a time, my program consits of seperate exe's so it will be more stable

Then look into Inno and ********** (written by our member randem) which will let you do that.
