    Still an Active Problem...

    Thanks for the response...

    Here is the situation... My Normal Exe has a reference to my ActiveX Exe and can run without a problem in my machine but not in another machine (Error: ActiveX component can't create object). Running my normal exe without a reference to the activex component cause any error , which means that it is not a problem with runtime files cause I don't have any controls in the activex that isn't in the normal exe.

    In the Project Properties options, I have selected Remote Server Files for the compiler to generate the VBR and TLB files for the registry entries. In the Version Compatablity options, I have selected Binary.

    I know I can use the Package and Deployment Wizard and run the setup to deploy the application which will make the registration without a problem. Thing is... I just want to copy and paste files from the coumputer on which I would like it ro run from. Can I dynamically get around this problem from the normal exe?

    - Please excuse the grammar-

    I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you intend to change the ocx regularly, but you could use RegSvr32 to register the ocx after copying it.

    Thanks si_the_geek, but I can't do that method.

    I need to deploy the software in several customers located in different countries, that is why I want to make it dynamic so i can just send them the files for updates.

    so use RegSvr32.. it's not hard to put a call to it into code
