SYMPTOMSWhen using the Setup program created by the Setup Wizard you may receive the following error message:
<control.ocx> was unable to Register itself in the System Registry CAUSEThe .ocx files that the application needs were placed in a subdirectory of the distribution directory.
WORKAROUNDMake sure all .ocx files that your application needs are placed in the root distribution directory.
STATUSMicrosoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATIONFor more information on distributing applications and the Setup Wizard please see chapters 25 and 26 in the Developer's Guide. The following Steps to Reproduce Behavior assume that you have already created an application that uses .ocx controls.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
<control.ocx> was unable to Register itself in the System RegistryIf you look at the Windows\System folder you will see a folder under it named Controls. Inside the Controls folder is the .ocx files. Setup is looking for the .ocx files in the System folder, and when it does not find them there, it can't register them.
