OCX Registration/Setup Programs.
Mikel Finch
I am looking for an ezy way to do OCX registration. I know of the
regsvr32.exe, but I was told that doesn't always work. I am thinking
more on the lines of a setup program made by install shield.
I will test out regsvr32.exe and test its results. If it works I am
going to include it whithin an setup program. The program I am
currently working on has a THTML component, which will need to be
registered. In the future I will probably have several more programs
that have OCX components. If I can't get OCX to register I may end up
choosing other components.
If you have any suggestions on OCX installation, I would love to hear
them.
Sincerely,
Mikel Finch

InstallShield will auto-register your OCX controls, provided that it has
the OLESelfRegister flag set in the version resource.
How do you do it? Drag-'n-drop the support files in the specified order
into a seperate group and then the OCX.
Why? The support files have to be installed before the OCX gets registered,
or else it fails because the needed files are not present.

The InstallShield & Delphi FAQ at http://www.ellipse-data.com/ISX.FAQ.html
describes in Question 3 how to install the ISP OCX controls.

Install shield registrates an OCX for you already.

I was just curious 'cuz I can't even get the THTML and TSMTP
components to register on the client machines at all. How did you get
them to work? Every time I try to use my own program or the Simple
Mail example on the end users machine to send a mail I get a strange
dialog with only a "." in it and an Ok button. It works fine on my own
machine with Delphi 2.01 installed. Installshield is supposed to
register the included OCX's right? Well it doesn't and even if I use
Regsrv32 they still give me the same strange error...
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
/thanx, Jock

If the OCX doesn't have a autoregister flag in it's resources then you
need to edit an .ini file in Install Shield, I can't recall the
name, and include a section like such as [THTML.OCX] and tell
install shield to register the OCX for you. I am using =
Install Shield Pro and I needed to root around in the help to find
this info, but it is there.

That was changed wasn't it? Can you refresh your copy again?

With that one I don't have a clue. Isn't that a not-initialised component
that bombs out? I'm sure it is not the OCX.
