Jharris - help with activeX control installation
This was double posted before, and, although I did only delete one copy of this thread, both are now gone. Luckily, I have a cached copy, so here's the full text (and sorry to JHarris)
Original text follows: Help! I new to activeX, and I'm running a project that uses the activeX control MSFlexGrid. The computer system the project was developed on has this control installed via MSVisual Studio. However, I want to be able to run this project on other systems (that may not already have this activeX control). As expected, the project won't run on any system that doesn't have this activeX control installed. So can I install this ONE activeX control without having to install MSVisual Basic or MSVisual Studio? I tried copying the .ocx file to the Windows\System folder and registering it with regsvr32. The control appears in the registry, but it still wouldn't run. I suppose there is a difference between installing a control and simply registering it. I'm not trying to cheat MS. I just want to make sure the project can auto-install files needed to run on any machine. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Paul, we must have deleted the double thread at the same time. Please forgive me, I won't mess with your forum again...
Answer to JHarris: You can use the Package and deployment wizard to create a setup for your vb application. The Package and deployment wizard will grab all the required dll and ocx files. The Package and deployment wizard can be installed with the visual studio setup (I don't think it's installed by default) |

Hey, don't worry about it. It's a one in a million chance that two mods would ever simultaneously delete duplicate posts, no harm done.

Hey ... I only submitted my original post once!
The project I'm referring to was created with MSVisual FoxPro (as a component of MSVisual Studio), and its Packaging Wizard was supposed to be able to install any required .dlls and .ocxs. It just didn't do it. I was looking for a manual way to install what was missing (if possible). Thanks |

I think the double post was a server burp -- they were timestamped 40 minutes apart, which was odd.

Download this cab file http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/MsFlxGrd.cab and extract the contents (the msflexgrid.ocx and msflexgrid.inf) and install the ocx by rightclicking on the inf file and choose install.
