Tracy,
Just a WAG, but I ran into a "Silent Failure" of Regsvr32 the other day
on a Win10 Pro system. I would run
regsvr32 /s thecontrol.ocx
from within my application's folder where the OCX files were
located...then when my app tried to use the controls, it would throw an
error.
I got it to work by adding the explicit path of the OCX control to the
command line.
In other words
regsvr32 /s "c:\myprogram\thecontrol.ocx"
worked.
Go figure. Hope this helps.

Eric,
I wish I could just put it into the local folder. However, ActiveX controls
don't work that way.
I have unregistered the control, and registered the control after,
restarted, uninstalled Symantec Endpoint and tried it all again. Same
problem.
I manually created some of the registry values to attempt to get around the
problem. It still persist.
I say some, because the DLL has several COM classes in it.
I created an EXE that creates the control differently and it works:
Form.CreateObject("test", "oleobject","activexserver.class")
But my main project has it in a Classlib, with some additional code in it.
No code in the INIT of the oleControl.
The error that form gets is "Class is not registered". Which I see in the
Registry it isn't, until I manually put those key parts it to get the other
one working. Still get the same error in the main project.
Trying other things, but this one is challenging.
Thank you,
Tracy

Subject: Re: ActiveX control refuses to register
I'm not sure, especially if the result says it registered successfully.
Can you just put the control in the app's default folder so it can be found?

use in my VFP app.
Even manually typing the RegSvr32 command. The message that appears states
it registered successfully. However, the Registry is never updated.
What ideas can I use to track down this problem?
Thank you,
Tracy
