[and sad@discussions.microsoft.com confused and sad]

i tried to run VB app on vista or windows 7. it stated the error missing file
FPSPR70.ocx or one of its dependencies. i copy paste it from FPSPR70.ocx that
i got into system 32, yet i won't work. how do you suggest my next move?

You should be running a proper installation for the app. It will take care
of problems like this.

If UAC is enabled, you'll need to start an elevated command prompt. To do
this, right-click the Command Prompt shortcut in the Start Menu and select
"Run as administrator". If you are already an admin, you'll be prompted for
permission to continue. If you're not an admin, you'll be prompted for
admin credentials. Next, run regsvr32.exe. For example, the command might
be:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\fpspr70.ocx

Now, if this is a 64 bit version of Vista or Win7, the OCX must be copied to
the SysWOW64 folder rather than System32. Follow same instructions as above
but change the path accordingly.

You'll have to repeat this for any other ActiveX files that may need
registered. That's why you should have an installation program.

MikeD:

I have the same trouble, but with MSCOMCT2.OCX, it is the one that has
DateTimePicker Control. I put this file and others in SYSTEM32:

MSCOMCT2.OCX, MSCOMCT2.DEP, MSCOMCT2.SRG, MSCOMCT2

and I run:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32> REGSVR32 MSCOMCT2.OCX

and sends me this error message (from Spanish version)

Module was loaded "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSCOMCT2.OCX" but an error is
produced in the call DllRegisterServer (Error code 0x8002801c)."
To get more information, search in Internet by Error Code.

Information I get, just tell me how to use REGSVR32 with some parameters,
but I do not know if I do it right, I mean, to put exacts words and letters
and signs and space to run REGSVR32 command.

Please, help me.

Beforehand, thank you very much.

Not sure what to tell you that I didn't already say in the other post. Go
back and re-read that one and make sure you're following the advice given.

If I knew of anything more to tell you, I would. Maybe someone else will
provide some ideas.

Oh, here's something. To get the command line usage of regsvr32, run
"regsvr32.exe /?". Maybe that will help you.
