 |
|
Using regsvr32.exe you can register and unregister activeX.dLLs and .OCX. ActiveX EXEs get registered automatically as soon you run them. But when you need to and try to unregister an EXE component regsvr32.exe returns an error message to the effect that the file is neither a .dll nor a .ocx. But we do have need to unregister, say a test, activeX EXE so they don't clutter our reference list of components.
I must add that this problem is not restricted to WinXP. It applies also to Win2000.

| Why not just use regedit do delete all references to your ActiveX EXE from the registry? |

No i_am_doofus, there is actually a "safer" way. I got it elsewhere.
If your activeX server is named say "doofus.exe".
In the command prompt:
....to register it, type: doofus.exe /regserver
....to unregister it type: doofus.exe /unregserver
But thanks all the same for offering a solution that also works.
