ActiveX EXE

Why can't my ActiveX EXE doesn't run in another workstation? Do I need to register it like ActiveX DLL's and OCX's? If so, I need to programatically register it into another workstation. How can I achieve that? Tnx...

Most setup applciations contain an option to scan your VB project file for dependencies. It can then add them to the installation package. Also if you are having trouble running your applciation on another computer that does not have VB installed on it, that computer may be missing the VB runtime files. If this is the case you should manually add them, or have your setup routine install them on to the destination PC. If you want to see a good installer that has this capabilities then check out www.setupfactory.com

Hope it helps

To register an activex exe on a machine other than your development machine: you DO NOT use regsvr32 INSTEAD RUN the name of the activex exe followed by the /regserver paramter. Example: Myactivex.exe /regserver.
Make sure you provide the correct path to the activex exe and that the slash for the regserver option is the correct one not "\". Good luck.

You can programatically register your activex exe by adding a code line before your create object line in your program:
Shell App.Path & "\ActiveXName.exe /regserver".

I should have thought of that. That makes it much easier for installation at client sites. Thanks...
