Martin Fletche #1 / 10	How do I unregister .DLL and .OCX files? I need to unregister a few .DLL and .OCX files, but on the computer these are on I seem to be having a problem. Even after trying Regsvr32.exe dllname the control remains registered. any ideas? Can this be done another way, such as through the registry or api calls? I am crossposting because I need to figure this out VERY SOON. Thanks Martin Fletcher

Trevor Benedict #5 / 10	How do I unregister .DLL and .OCX files? Hi Martin, Can U just find out how many DLL's you have with the same name. Could be that you created DLL's in different directories. Also U may need U restart the machine if the objects are being pooled as in MTS and IIS. try restarting the machine. Then find out all the DLL's or OCX with the same name if there are any and then unregister each on of them. You can also find the keys in the registry by the dllname and delete them and then run RegClean but remember that this could be dangerous. If there's anything more specific that you would like to clarify just send a mail. Thanks & Regards Trevor Benedict R Software Consultant Western Digital Sdn Bhd.

michk #6 / 10	How do I unregister .DLL and .OCX files? In what language are the .DLLs and .OCX files written? It is up to the actual binary what they will do when they are unregistered. -- MichKa a new book on internationalization in VB at http://www.i18nWithVB.com/ Quote: > Opps... yes I have tried regsvr32.exe /u dllname > Martin Fletcher Quote: > > euh... did you use the /U parameter? > > REGSVR32 /U dll_name > > -- > > SLE > > http://go.to/sle > > > I need to unregister a few .DLL and .OCX files, but on the computer > these > > > are on I seem to be having a problem. > > > Even after trying Regsvr32.exe dllname the control remains registered. > > any > > > ideas?

Roger Abbot #7 / 10	How do I unregister .DLL and .OCX files? Martin, Rather than finding the registry entries by hand, you could rename all the DLLs/OCXs to something else and then use RegClean to weed out the invalid registry entries. Actually, RegClean does not do a thorough job although it does prevent you from creating objects with a GUID whose server does not exist. COMclean from the web site at the bottom will usually find lots of orphan entries missed by Regclean. I agree with Trevor that multiple copies of the same file is likely to be the cause of your problems. Quote: > Hi Martin, > Can U just find out how many DLL's you have with the same name.

Kyle McDonal #8 / 10	How do I unregister .DLL and .OCX files? Martin, Goto www.addisonsw.com and grab a free copy of regdrop. It will let you register and unregister COM components easily via drag and drop, plus it will give you an error code if the unregister fails.

Here's a little registry hack to get the right click to work in your favor (both are basically the same, just the REGEDIT tag at the top is different.): Win2k: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 Win 95/98/NT 4: REGEDIT4 Quote: > Martin, > Goto www.addisonsw.com and grab a free copy of regdrop.
