Registering missing .ocx & .dll files
Posted by admin on Jan 12th, 2007
No matter what I do, I cannot succesfully register these files. I have even downloaded 3rd party "registering programs". I have placed the files in my system32 folder, and have also tried Run, regsvr32 protocol. Is this because Vista is not supporting VB 6.0 ? What alternatives do I have? Microsoft, you really should address this issue.

Did you try running regsvr32 in Command Prompt, by rightclicking on Command Prompt and choosing "Run as Administrator"?"Mike M" <Mike M@discussions.microsoft.com>

I just did. There is no such option when I right click.This is a very odd problem that doesnt make much sense.Im now getting this message when I try to register "The module "c\windows\system\........" was loaded but the call to DllRegister server failed with error code 0x80004005""deandean" wrote:

In my experience, a number of commands, including regsvr32, will not work unless cmd.exe is run as administrator. The Command Prompt window will clearly indicate when it is running with administrative privileges, with "Administrator: Command Prompt" written in the title bar. All .exe type files (and the shortcuts pointing to them) should have a tab in the file's Properties, called "Compatibility", where you can put a check in a box for "Run this program as an administrator', as well as having the rightclick option I mentioned before. With UAC turned off, I believe cmd.exe, by default, is run as administrator.The Dependency Walker tool, dependencywalker.com/, might help point to what you're missing if your .dll' and .ocx's are dependent on a certain runtime, etc. "Mike M"

I'm one of the end users mentioned, and have a problem registering a .ocx file. The install program will not register it, I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, using the option "run as administrator", and it still will not do so. The file is installed in system32. I have tried using regsvr32, but keep getting error of "need binary name", the only name I have is the file name "pklink.ocx". What is the exact wording to use with regsvr32? Can someone tell a dummy how to do it? John"Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote:
