64Bit OS maybe?
Are you using the right regsvr32.exe (ie one in

%systemroot%\SysWoW64

Well, the temporary workaround for that specific OCX issue (reported on
MSDN) was to create a .BAT <g>. But it only works around a OCX
self-registration function bug.

It's very well possible gthat your OCX is not Win81 compliant or requires
specific dependency files. "Self-registration" means that the file
registers itself. If it does not register itself then there is a bug in the
self-registration procedure (assuming that all required dependencies are
available when the self-registration process is started; for example, all
required C++ runtimes, etc.).

Oh! Well - then 'the' test is ti try the CJ installer to see if 'that'
works ?

Your first sentence seems to show there _is_ a known problem sometimes
- did I miss read you ?

No, there is no OCX registration problem in Windows 8.1 (or any other
previous Windows version). If the OCX does not register itself then there
is an issue with this specific OCX. In most cases, it is a bug in the
DLLRegisterServer API (which handles all the self-registration stuff). Or a
required dependency file is missing (or not accessible).

Can I privately send you these ocx for a test at your end please ?

here in all vm's all works well in all OS's except this 8.1 ent 64 bit
(no other 8.1 test bench here) ?

As their installer works it seems to indicate a pb in my code or SB
script ?

Merci

Hi JP,

If it only fails on Windows 8.1, then it is very unlikely that it is caused
by your code or the script. IMO, it's a missing dependency or the OLE
initialization issue.

I tested the OLE initializing tip as you mentioned and no change
BUT
testing more before I bother you by email (next week as now it is late
for us in Europe) <g>

Enjoy the sunday

'Their' installer works and registers all properly so I must be doing
something wrong

and DMC works well also after using their installer ...

is something changed between 7/8 and 8.1 in this aspect ?
