FBA & COM registration

[Robert Dormer]

Hello all,

I'm componentizing an application that uses ActiveX controls. I've added
the OCX files for the controls to the image, and set up FBA DLL/COM
registration resources as part of the component. However, when I run the
application on XP Embedded, it still crashes with error 429. Can anyone
shed some light on what's going on?

Robert,

Does the program crash if oyu register the OCX file by hand from the command
line or a batch file? Also, can you look in the FBA log
(C:\Windows\FBA\fbalog.txt) to see if the file was indeed registered?

HTH,
Brad

To update,

I've looked in the FBA log and the controls are indeed registered
succesfully, according to FBA at least. I've also used a utility, ActiveX
assistant, to enumerate the controls on the system, and all of them are
there. So, whatever the problem is, it's not due to the controls not being
registered....

I have already done this as well. All necessary DLLs and OCX files are in
their proper places.

Robert,

Can you run depends against the program and verify that all the necessary
support files are in the build? If any of the files listed in depends are
missing you can create a filter in Target Designer to find the component
that owns the file.

Here is some info on Target Designer filters:

Is this a VB application? Is the VB6 Runtime component in the image?
