PRB: "Object Server Not Correctly Registered" Error in VB4-32
Article ID: Q161827
Creation Date: 06-JAN-1997
Revision Date: 02-APR-1997
The information in this article applies to:
?Control Creation and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic, for
Windows, version 4.0, 5.0
SYMPTOMS
When you choose Custom Controls from the Tools menu in Microsoft Visual
Basic 4.0, the following error message appears:
Object not correctly registered
The problem is caused by the registration process of other components
within the system registry. This article explains one cause of the problem.
CAUSE
If you install a custom control developed with the Control Creation Edition
of Visual Basic 5.0, an erroneous CLSID key is added to your registry that
could be causing this error message.
RESOLUTION
In addition to the bona fide registry key for the control developed with
the Control Creation Edition of Visual Basic 5.0, the following erroneous
extra registry key is created when you install a control developed with the
Control Creation Edition of Visual Basic 5.0:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
\CLSID
\{0DE86A52-2BAA-11CF-A229-00AA003D7352}
This key causes a blank item to appear in the list of ActiveX controls when
it is displayed in Access95 and Visual Basic 4.0. The key also causes the
"object server not correctly registered" error message to appear when you
open the Custom Controls dialog box in the Control Creation Edition of
Visual Basic 4.0. Remove the key with the RegEdit utility.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
