Registering .dll and .ocx - William - 04-06-2006

So if you are having problems registering your .dll and .ocx files. You can use the following:

Code:
@echo off

echo Registering ocx controls..

regsvr32 /s 

echo Registering dll files..

regsvr32 /s 

echo Done

Example of it:

Code:
@echo off

echo Registering ocx controls..

regsvr32 /s MSWINSCK.OCX

regsvr32 /s RICHTX32.OCX

regsvr32 /s TABCTL32.OCX

echo Registering dll files..

regsvr32 /s fmod.dll

regsvr32 /s PaintX.dll

regsvr32 /s zlib.dll

echo Done

And create a .bat file with the information in it. This can be used if you are creating a engine and you want the users to easily register the files.

shady exes are not nice.

i jsut tell them to get esmas -dll/ocx tool

- BigRed - 05-06-2006

Heh, I made it myself. Nothing shady about it. Scan it with a virus scanner if you want.

Here's the exact description of it:

BigRed Wrote:Register Files.exe is a program that will register all active x objects in the folder the program is placed in. For example, you put the program into My Documents, and you have 3 active x objects also in the folder, msstdfmt.dll, mswinsock.ocx, and richtx32.ocx. You run the program and it automatically checks the checksum of the current file and compares it to the new one and if they don't match, copies the files into your System or System32 folder, depending on your operating system, and then regsvr32 them for you. You can also pass a '/u' command to register the files silently, meaning no message box will pop up confirming that they were registered successfully.

yea, wine is like a windows emulator... sort of. i've got photoshop cs2 running on it. i've read you can get all your windows games and stuff running on it as well, and i've seen a tutorial to make it run MS-based games.
