Installer works on windows 10, but on windows 11 is causing a problem
When i run the exact same installshield installer on a windows 11 macahine, several of my items won't load. When running this through a debugger, i get "comexception, class not egistered" (exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG).
Is this something that installshield isn't installing properly and if so, how can i rectify it? Thank you.
Sorry i was unclear. When running our own source code through the debugger. I'm using visual studio if its relevent. But I have read one suggestion for a solution would be to run RegSvr32 on each of the dll's involved. My curiosity is, why would this process have worked successfully (and still does) on a windows 10 machine, but not a windows 11 machine running the same installer? To answer your second question, i don't have a minimal example i can use in this case to reproduce the issue. But i can say with confidence that nothing has changed except the OS. I can use the same installer now, on a brand new windows 10 machine, and it'll work just fine. But on a windows 11 machine, i'll have the problem listed in the first post.
I have figured out the issue, but not its cause. 5 ocx files that were previously being registered just fine by the installer, on windows 11 are not being even copied into the correct place (syswow64) let alone registered. Does anyone know what the cause could be? There are no changes to the installer project at all. I know this is the correct answer, because if i copy the ocx files and regsvr32 them by hand, the application works as expected.
