DLL/OCX Registration Issue

[NewsArchive]

I have a situation where some DLL's and OCX's are not registered properly.
Here's the scenario:

1) Application installed, all DLL's/OCX's register, app runs fine.
2) App uninstalled. DLL's and OCX's DO NOT HAVE the Uninstall flag checked.
3) App reinstalled. DLL's/OCX's are present, but not "registered". Manually
registering the files fixes the issue. Files were already the appropriate
version.

I believe that the uninstall in not removing the files but is
"unregistering" them. Then, when the reinstall happens, the files are
already present (I have "Check File Version - Date/Time" selected) so the
installation doesn't place the file and then doesn't register them.

Is this even a possible scenario?

Thanks,

Hi Gary,

I see a "potential error" note in our source codes that handles the
32/64-bit self-registration stuff. IMO, the installer writes the OCX
self-registration action to the log file (this should not happen if the
Uninstall option is unchecked). Then on uninstallation, the uninstall
application does not remove the files (because they are not logged), but it
seems to unregister the OCX files.

Could you please send the uninstall .log to support (at) lindersoft (dot)
com? And please let us know which OCX files do not have the Uninstall
option set.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Hi Gary,

Thanks for sending the uninstall .log. It's definitely a logging problem.
Item in review now.

Am I allowed to send you a new sbkernel.lib installer runtime library later
today to test it?

Thanks,
Friedrich
