JP is totaly "lost"

I reviewed my SB code to check for REG existing entries
If found and if file exists then no installation
If found and NO file exists then install and register

If NO reg entry found I "build" the path from the CJ installer and
check for file exists

If found then NO installation
If not found then no installation

all this works fine

I added in SB script (properly placed around the register pending
operation line the tip from Fredrich on ole32.dll initialize and
uninitialize

In SB I use TWO paths : the 'original one in program files' and I also
copy the ocx for DMC in a sub folder

In DMC code if the return of a CJ ole creation is 'no ole automation' I
catch it and stop normal processing and send the user to an "clarion
registering" with this kind of code
(using the sub DMC path "copy")
pRegFile = CLIP(GLO:LibPath) & CLIP(CodeJock_OcxFile_CB)
vsDebug.Write(vsDebug::ProcedureName & 'Register All Ocx ***** REGISTER
OLE [' & CLIP(pRegFile) & eMyCloseBracket)
pCreateResult = CALL(CLIP(pRegFile),'DllRegisterServer')
IF pCreateResult
vsDebug.Write(vsDebug::ProcedureName & 'Register All Ocx *****
ERROR **** [' & CLIP(pCreateResult) & eMyCloseBracket)
ELSE
UNLOAD(CLIP(pRegFile))
vsDebug.Write(vsDebug::ProcedureName & 'Register All Ocx *****
SUCCESS ****')
END

and I do get a "success" return

when the user restarts dmc :
windows7 - NO GO (even after a reboot)
windows8 - OK (after a DMC registration on my sub path - ie SB
registration does not seem to work on the regular 'program files path')
windows8.1 - NO GO
windows2012 - OK after a DMC registration
windows2008R2 - OK after a DMC registration
windowsXP - OK after a DMC registration

I did check in my vm's all registries beofre saving to a snapshot of a
"clean" os (codejock wise)

always using the same SB installer for all these checks so it is not a
corrupted OCX

the only check I did not perfomr is on dependency walker as Jeff
suggested which on my dev machine shows a requirement to gdiplus.dll on
top of all windows dll's and comctl32.dll from some winsxs folder ....

totaly lost!

Please remember that it is NOT a SetupBuilder registration!!! OCX files
register itself (their own code writes all the registry entries, etc.). In
other words, if the registration process fails then it is always caused by
an issue in the self-registration process.

Friedrich

Created a CodeJock setup to install/register the OCX files and your DMC
product works fine here on a clean Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

Friedrich

Yes I saw this and your answer also
---------------
why don't you use the automatic "Register as OCX" option in the file
properties?
---------------
because I never thought of it :(
because I thought the regositer all pending ocx was good enough

we learn every day

and of course just checking that option and commenting out the queue
all ocx solves all!!!!

MERCI

JP
