[RESOLVED] ActiveX DLL

[Liquid Metal]

I created an ActiveX DLL for a Window Explorer Context Menu. It is working but when I tried to recompile it again, it would not let me.

I tried to unregister it, it allows me but will not let me delete it because it said that it is in use.

Anyone know how to recompile with out having to reboot the computer?

Thank You

Close all open windows before recompiling. If for example you go to "C:\" in Windows Explorer and right-click on a file, then Windows Explorer uses the dll. Close that window and recompiling should work fine.

Chris, I tried this before you posted but it did not work.

But after your post, I decide to try it again and it worked.

The difference between the two times is that the first time, I unregister it in Window Explorer and then closed the Window Explorer. That did not work because as long as the window is still open, it will not release it.

When you post, it made sense, so I closed the window and unregister from RUN command line.

Thanks Chris

You're welcome. You don't have to unregister the DLL before recompiling it again. Simply closing all open windows should be enough.

You are correct.
