Dear all,

I built an activex control which is coded in C++.
This activex is working fine on my pc (windows 7 ) .
When I installed it on a windows xp pc and try to register it, it gives me a message "loadlibrary(".ocx") failed. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

One of the pc's I installed vs2008 and then successfully registered.
I tried on other one but failed.

I have an old ocx and it worked fine (compiled from the same project )but I made some changes on it (I moved positions of some objects)
then I compiled it and everything is ok. But can't be registered on the other pc.

Please, can anyone can help?
Maybe it need something specific to be installed in the client PC.

Regards

Yes i also suggest you the same. There are two ways to solve it either add 4 mfc dll (don't know the name) with your package or statically link the dll :). Anyways now it doesn't matter.

Yes, you need to install something on the target PC: the microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package. If your ActiveX was developed with visual studio 2008, then you can find the package here[^]. If you used another version of visual studio, then you have to look for the corresponding package.
