Title: VB6 App With ActveX EXEs
Post by: Stephen on May 17, 2016, 03:07:06 PM
Using VB6 SP6 with latest updates.

Using the just downloaded INNO Setup and InnoScript.

Tried both using the .VBP and Package.lst methods to generate the Inno Script file.

It seems that neither method identifies the ActiveX EXE files as such since there seems to be no registration of these ActiveX EXE files.

AXIMAGESHOW.EXE is in References (in the main app folder) of the IDE and used in the main application.

Package .lst has this in it
File23=@AXIMAGESHOW.EXE,$(AppPath),$(EXESelfRegister),,3/26/16 4:28:19 PM,614400,1.1.0.0

What am I missing?

Hi Stephen,

There are log files that should give some information about the process and why a file may be missing.
It may tell you on the script generation message that files are missing and what to do to get them found.
Please give more information about the process you are using. Perhaps a screenshot will help also.

I do not think you are understanding.

There is nothing about a missing file.

All files get placed as desired from the setup.

But the ActiveX.EXE files are NOT registered.

The .LST of the MS VB6 Packager includes something that looks like it will register if the Packer installed is run.

But the Script generated by InnoScript does not provide any method of registering the ActiveX EXE.

So what is to be done?
Is INNO Script missing that feature or is there some box that needs ticking in InnoScript?


P.S. VERIFICATION: How many eyes do humans have? the correct answer is "two" but that is not accepted.

Stephen,

I can not see what you are thinking... I need to see just what is happening or what you may be missing. I can only guess without seeing something definitive.
Please zip and post your logs & script to help avoid guessing...
