Activex Runtime Error: 438

 Activex Runtime Error: 438

Hi,

I have written an activex control which accesses the windows CryptoAPI in
the DLL files AdvAPI32.dll and Crypt32.dll.

Inside my control is a custom method which I call from VBScript after
loading the control:
<script>
call mycontrol.myfunction("SomeTextString")
</script>

This function takes an LPCTSTR as an argument, computes another string and
returns a BSTR.

My control is signed using the ActiveX SDK provided test certificate, and
the code is marked as safe.

I initialise my object using the following code in my webpage:
<OBJECT ID="mycontrol1" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=51
CLASSID="CLSID:C1AB29C0-6A27-11D4-97A2-00C04F12C42F"
CODEBASE="control.cab#version=1,0,0,0">
</OBJECT>

When I run it on my development machine, it runs exactly as I expect,
although I built it on this machine, so it goes through a process of
registration during the build.   Because of this, when I use the ActiveX
control pad, I can see it as an installed control.

However, when another machine tries to run the, the error:
"object doesn't support this property or method mycontrol.myfunction" is
thrown up, and the Microsoft de{*filter*} points it to where I call my function.

I suspect that I am not registering my control properly,  Here is the inf
file included in the cab file:
[version]
    signature="$CHICAGO$"
    AdvancedINF=2.0
 [Add.Code]
    mycontrol.ocx=mycontrol.ocx
    msvcrt.dll=msvcrt.dll
    mfc42.dll=mfc42.dll
    olepro32.dll=olepro32.dll
 [mycontrol.ocx]
    file-win32-x86=thiscab
    clsid={C1AB29C0-6A27-11D4-97A2-00C04F12C42F}
    FileVersion=1,0,0,1
    RegisterServer=yes
 [msvcrt.dll]
    FileVersion=4,20,0,6164
    hook=mfc42installer
 [mfc42.dll]
    FileVersion=4,2,0,6256
    hook=mfc42installer
 [olepro32.dll]
    FileVersion=4,2,0,6068
    hook=mfc42installer
 [mfc42installer]
    file-win32-x86= http://www.*-*-*.com/
    run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\mfc42.exe

Has Anyone got any suggestions as to how I might complete the registration
process on a remote PC that hasn't built my control.

Best Regards,

Kevin
