Environment: Win 95, VC++ 4.2

After installing 4.2 over 4.1 we tried to test our little app which =
involves using an ole control in a DLL.  Using 4.1 everything works =
great and with no problems at all.. but... under 4.2 we get a 'not =
registering ole control' error message.  Its all been checked out and =
I'm fairly sure this is a microsoft bug as I've checked evrything else I =
could think of (including testing in a seperate app and registering it =
manually).   I've not managed to get in touch with microsoft yet to see =
what they say.. thought I'd check out here to see if anyone else has had =
the same problems?

Cheers,
Chris

That is, you've written some code which lives in a DLL and makes use of
an OLE control, right?

When searching through the MFC sources, I can't find this error message
anywhere.  Who prints it out?  When?  Is that the exact text of the
error message?  If it is the exact text, I don't think the error message
is coming from MFC.

Do you get this message in the debugger output?  What debug output _do_
you get?  Or does this message pop up in a message box?

What, specifically, has all been checked out?  I don't understand what
this means.

If the DLL you are trying to register, can't find a dll or ocx it is
looking for, it won't register.  You might make sure all required dll's
are in the path.

Chris -

You'll need to provide more specific information (to the list please, not to 
me directly).

You say you installed 4.2 over 4.1. After doing so, what did you recompile: 
your application? your OLE control? both?

When do you get the "not registering ole control" message: while running 
REGSVR32? (if so, what's the error code value?) while running your app? while 
running your app's setup program (if any)?

On which machines do these problems occur: only on the machine where 4.2 was 
installed? only on other machines, where 4.2 has NOT been installed? on all 
machines?
