OCX question

[parabolic]

hello,

i have an application with uses the "swflash.ocx"

is it possible to put the ocx in the same directory as the exe file and force the exe file to use the ocx in the same directory and not the ocx in "c:\windows\system\macromed\flash\swflash.ocx"?

...so the user doesn't need to have the swflash.ocx installed...

?

I think it is possible, just Register the OCX in that directory and make sure it isnt going to be moved.

thank you,

but that's like as i would install the ocx in the system directory... i want an exe file which doesn't have to install anything...

is it possible somehow to include/link the ocx into the exe file? i tried FUSION (www.bit-arts.com) but that didn't work -> the resulting exe always had an error... anyway FUSION costs 200$... :-(

maybe it is possible in delphi / visual c++?

does anybody know that?

the reason i want to know this:
i want to create an application with the same functionality as JUGGLOR (www.flashjester.com) -> jugglor costs 99$
but i think if somebody has a little bit of programming experience (and linking of ocx files works somehow) it's possible to write a program like JUGGLOR in an half an hour. -> with many more functions than JUGGLOR...

Fusion is a horribly done program, but a great idea. You need to make a copy of swfalsh.ocx in another directory and link that copy to the exe. Linking the 'active' (reigstered w/the system) copy of the OCX results in an error in Fusion.

Boycott far-too-expensive-for-their-actual-value programs. Find a nice Warez site.
