unable to register ocx file


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, I’ve been struggling trying to register an ocx file on a Windows Server

2003 SP2 EE box off and on for the past couple days. Tech support from the

software vendor has been of no help, they say they’ve never seen this before.

Of course the installer is supposed to register the file, but it errors out

with:

Error 1904.Module D:\Program Files\Ap…\Dsd.ocx failed to register. HRESULT

– 2147220473. Contact your support personnel.

The file “dsd.ocx” is indeed copied to the programs directory, but not

registered. If I try to manually register I get:

LoadLibrary(“D:\Program Files\AP…\dsd.ocx”) failed – The specified module

could not be found.

I should mention that I’ve had no problem registering and unregistering ocx

or dll’s.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

RE: unable to register ocx file

 

I figured out the problem by using Filemon while trying to register the ocx –

I saw it was looking for other files that didn’t exist. I got the copies

from the vendor and everything works now.
