Kent,

I heard you can do it, I looked into it, found it required editing an XML

document then modifying the compiled executable adding the XML into it. It

was more time consuming than I had time to work on the process.

Christof Wollenhaupt gave a presentation once at SWFox that showed you can

add the registry entries that normally appear in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,

HKCR\CSLID and HKCR\TypeLib areas into the users area that matches.

That all being available, what I found out, which is usually the case with

confused ActiveX applications is one of two things.

1) Rights - either the user doesn't have rights to read that entries in the

registry, or access to the files or dependencies of the DLL.

2) The users TEMP file has more than 60,000 files in it.

I test the second one first. Open a command window, make a new directory

(i.e. c:\myapp\temp), set both TEMP and TMP to this path (i.e. SET

TEMP=C:\MYAPP\TEMP), then CD to my applications directory and start the app

in the command window. If the ActiveX still fails, look at rights.

Regedit.exe, right click on a key, select Permissions. Group Policies and

Local Policies can play a part in access rights too.

HTH,
