    Register OCX with Regedit

    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.
