How to register new .OCX files?

[ZamorakianFaith]

how do you? cuz i get an error when I try to append winsock to the tools... Im in VB6 btw if that helps. I've already tried typing in run "regsvr32 MSWINSCK.OCX" and that didn't work....


heres the error message I get in VB:


"License information for this component is not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment"

sorry but your an idiot, how is it going to register the OCX if the path isnt there? put it in windows > system32 and then do this

regsvr32 windows\system32\ocxname.ocx

something like that

 

[ZamorakianFaith]

I'm an idiot?

I did do exactly that. If you don't you get an error message. DUH

It says it was done successfully

1). Download the Winsock Control to your system 32 folder.
2). Go to start > run and type in regsvr32 MSWINSCK.OCX

A message should have appeared saying either you successfully installed it or something fucked up.

you people keep telling me the same thing over and over- IT DIDN'T WORK

It says registered successfully in regsvr32, but when I try to add a winsock control to a from in VB6, it says I need to register it......

if it says registered successfully you may be registereing a different ocx, make sure you only have one file in you system or at least one in the windows folder

you can also run this command directly from the system32 folder in a command window to make sure you are doing the right thing

gee, it could fucking help....

your asking how to register an ocx, we told you and since it said succesfully registered then the ocx is registered, TO YOUR SYSTEM. but by the sound of the error your getting it means you have to buy the .ocx or something =\

lol if you don't specify a path, system32 is default.

"License information for this component is not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment"



thats the error message. Why would you have to buy a stupid ocx?

very funny.... instead of wasting your time saying that I'm the problem, you could give me the answer to my question..... please?

 

[joewnn]

If you get an error about it not having the license, then just google it and figure out how to get a license.

 

[ZamorakianFaith]

I have, and google is not being very productive. google is not always the answer. I would rather have someone who is experienced explain the problem to me.

are u running the full licensed version of vb or just a demo version or something?
