comdlg32.ocx

[Guest]

I am currently running a macine control progam called 'FIX32' on a win98
machine. I am upgrading the computer to a XP SP1 machine but when I run the
program I get an error saying that the file 'comdlg32.ocx' is missing or
invalid. This file exists on the 98 computer but is missing from the XP
computer. Is this as it should be and if not what solution is there? Can
the file be taken off the 98 computer and placed on the XP machine?

I found this in another newsgroup reguarding Fix32 and Windows 2000

To run on Windows 2000 you need at least 7.0 and the windows 2000
support sim.


I'm sure it's similar with XP what version are you running

The program may have been looking in the wrong place - the standard
place for an ocx on a Win9x machine is in Windows\system but in XP it
is in \system32
Ensure that in both places the copies are the same - copy the one form
system32 into system.

Yes (assuming there's no general XP compatibility issue), but after copying
you will also need to run
regsvr32 [Path]\comdlg32.ocx

It would be better to run the full installation for the Fix32 program (if it
has one) as there might be other components also requiring
installation/registration.
