- * Registering Controls *
- * *
- ***************************************************
-
- The tool REGSVR32.EXE can be used to register a 32-bit
- ActiveX control, though normally the ProtoView install
- will perform this step for you. If you experience any
- problems registering your ProtoView ActiveX control, first
- try unregistering and reregistering the control, as shown
- below. The command-line option /U is available to both
- REGSVR and REGSVR32.
-
- REGSVR /U <filename>.OCX
- REGSVR <filename>.OCX
-
- If you continue to have problems registering your
- ProtoView ActiveX control, you may need to update some or
- all the shared files in your Windows SYSTEM directory.
- Read the section in this README "The Shared Components."
-
- If you previously owned the PICS OCX package, you should
- unregister the PICS OCXs, and register the controls that
- come in this package. The PICS package has been
- incorporated in this and some conflicts may arise due to
- class names. It is also a good idea to re-insert the
- control(s) into your project so the new class IDs are
- used.

- * The Shared Components *
- * *
- *********************************
-
- ProtoView ActiveX controls require several shared DLLs from
- Microsoft to be present on the machine using the ActiveX
- controls. In some cases you may have to update these
- files in the Windows SYSTEM directory.
-
- If you experience problems registering or running the
- ActiveX controls, or the setup program warned you that it
- could not locate one or more shared components, you may
- want to copy some or all of the shared files available
- from the PVAPPS\WINX\SHARED directory.
-
- ProtoView also has available a ZIP file SHARED.ZIP
- with the necessary shared files. The file SHARED.ZIP can
- be freely downloaded from the ProtoView BBS, CompuServe
- forum, or our Internet FTP site.
-
- The complete list of shared files necessary for WinX
- controls is below. Use caution when updating the Windows
- SYSTEM directory to make sure you do not overwrite DLLs with
- older versions. Doing so may inadvertently cripple other
- applications or your system.
-
-
- Files needed for 32-bit ActiveX
-
- MFC40.DLL
- MSVCRT.DLL
- OLEPRO32.DLL
