manually registering srpcontrols64.ocx on windows 11 pc

BarryStevens · April 13

Registering SRPControls64.ocx on win10 PC is OK, but try on windows 11 PC I get the following issue.
Registering the SRPEditor64.ox does not give an error.

Any clues?
I actually do all the registering of controls OI & SRP & 3rd party in a proc ( if 'run as admin) and this is the only issue thrown up.
Running the 'SRP_Controls_Install.exe' registration works.

For my clarity, if you were already in C:\Revsoft\OIClient10 and then entered "regsvr32 SRPControls64.ocx" it would work?

Yes it does!!!
So, from a proc how do I get around that?

my code is:

ControlsOCXFolder ="c:\revsoft\oiclient10" 
	RTI_OS_Directory( "CREATE", ControlsOCXFolder) 
	//PBC stuff// 
	directory       = "ocxfilesForPBC" 
	ControlsToReg64 = RTI_OS_Directory( "GETFILES", directory) 
	Loop While ControlsToReg64 
		OcxFileName               =ControlsToReg64[1,@fm] 
		ControlsToReg64[1,col2()] ='' 
		osread OcxFile from directory:'\':OcxFileName Then 
			oswrite OcxFile to ControlsOCXFolder:"\":OcxFileName
			
		End
	repeat
	
	if msWin_IsUserAnAdmin() then 
		ControlsToReg64 = RTI_OS_Directory( "GETFILES", directory) 
		Loop While ControlsToReg64 
			OcxFileName               =ControlsToReg64[1,@fm] 
			ControlsToReg64[1,col2()] ='' 
			
			yield() 
			OcxFileNameExt =OcxFileName[-1,"B."] 
			if OcxFileNameExt _eqc 'ocx' or OcxFileNameExt _eqc 'dll' then 
				utility("RUNWIN","regsvr32 ":ControlsOCXFolder:"\":OcxFileName:" /s /u ",-1) 
				utility("RUNWIN","regsvr32 ":ControlsOCXFolder:"\":OcxFileName:"  ",-1) 
			end 
			
		Repeat t

I'm not sure how to resolve this. At first blush this looked like the same problem you reported 5 years ago. However, it is clearly not the exact same problem because this time you you are able to register the control if you are in the same folder or if you use SRP_Controls_Install.exe.

Everything points to this being a working directory problem. For whatever reason, Windows 11 behaves differently than Windows 10. Kevin might have some pearls of wisdom to share tomorrow when he gets to his desk.

I do wonder if you could resolve the problem using SRP_Run_Command instead. It allows you to set the working directory.

Great idea, I will try that and report back.

Nice try, but same error message.

Just confirming, you did download and install the VC++ Runtime Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013. This is highlighted in this SRP blog post: 64-bit-releases-are-here

We have also seen times when you need to invoke the 64bit version of regsvr32.exe which can be found under %windir%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe. I have only tried this manually or from a batch script but I don't see why you couldn't call full paths for both the regsvr32 and the SRPControls64.ocx.

Thank you. Log time since I setup a new PC.
vcredist_x64.exe worked

Barry - I'm confused. You said that registering the controls from within the same folder worked. If that were the case, then this suggests you already had vcredist_x64.exe installed on this machine. This is why I said the prior post was similar but not exactly the same as this latest problem.

BarryStevens · April 14

I'm confused.

Me too, but that is truely what happened.
Obviously was not installed as the active x info issue (see latestest post) only worked after install.

I would be interested to hear what happens for you whenyou come aross a clean win 11 pc without the vcredist_x64.exe installed.
