mz tools

yeh im trying to register a dll file with teh regsvr32.exe so that i can put the mztools on my visual basic 6.0 but when i type in regsvr32.exe mztools3.dll its saying bad command can someone tell me what im missing here.....i didtn install the runtime files that your suppose to if you have vb 5 couse i have vb6....studio...

I don't understand, I have VB6 and I installed it with their install package. You cannot just install the DLL.

no i got there vb6 install package off the site.....the mztools and it says you have to register the dll file....with regsvr32.exe

but when i type that in its saying bad command......could i maybe missing that file regsvr32.exe......is there a way to find out....

as for just installing it i dont knwo what you mean by that i just now went to teh site and got there version 3.0 and theres no installer on it...it says unzip to a file and register the dll

Try this

unzip the .dll file in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98

then go to dos prompt and type

cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98

now type

regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\MZTools3.dll

This is what i did and it worked for me

Good Luck with it

yeh i was actully just coming back to say that i got it to work.....

for some reason you have to unzip it to your vb6 folder in the same place that your regsvr32.exe is then just go to start run type command.......then in teh window i just put in

regsvr32 mztools3.dll and it registered it....but the help install file that comes with it says you can do it from anywhere....oh well fixed it thanks.....


i still need help with saving text tho if anyone can help me with that i would appreciate it...its about all i have left on my program...the post is down this pare about half way says how to save text from 10 diff text boxes....anyone help ??

This get stranger by the minute? I have the DLL on a different drive an it works fine.


Ignore everything above :D :D

A good trick I learned some time ago.... because the command prompt is so quirky sometimes...

- Create a shortcut to regsvr32.exe and just leave it on your desktop

- Do a search on your system and find the dll you want to register

- Drag the dll with the mouse and drop it on the regsvr32 icon on your desktop

Bingo!
