ocx cannot register corrent on vista

[fredliu]

Hi everybody

I have a install contains some dlls and a couple of ocx(CFX32.OCX and BFDurationCtrl.ocx), I can install corrent in xp, and when I install on vista, always show two errors , CFX32.OCX cannot register and BFDurationCtrl.ocx cannot register, I have already tried lots of ways to fix it , following:
1. I make custom action register the two ocx ,but show the same error as direct install
2. com extract at build, all of my dll and ocx place in same component, so this way is no valid
3. I move ISSelfRegisterFile to after InstallFinalize, but seem it is a error way.
anyone can give me some advices to fix it ? Thanks very much in advance.

Ideally you should probably recreate your components such that your option 2 works correctly. However another approach you can take is to use a tool in our Support folder called RegSpyUI to extract the COM registration and then save it to a .reg file. You can then import this, but may run into problems with any now hardcoded path references.

First I would try to register them on the machine manually to see if it's not a OCX issue.
