ActiveX control

Post by Harpist »

Howdy folks,

I am trying Wine for the first time. I have a windows application that has an ActiveX control associated with it. Running it with Wine I am getting the error:

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class .... not registered

Can someone point me the right direction on this?

Thanks

Have you installed that program on Wine? It could be that that control didn't register properly. If so you can run 'wine regsvr32 control.dll' where "control.dll" is the dll with your ActiveX control.

Wine's iexplore is basically Firefox disguised as IE. Try installing IE7 with winetricks.

And it supports activeX since 1.4, shouldn't this bug be more triaged ?
- The built-in (Gecko-based) web browser engine supports ActiveX.

What is the ... that you skipped?

Which app? Is a demo available?

Are you running with the latest wine (1.4)?

The issue we are talking about in this forum thread.
A clean wine 1.4 prefix visiting visiting http://mheller.com/testax.htm with iexplore will fail to start the ActiveX object referred in the page.

Code: Select all

wine iexplore http://mheller.com/testax.htm
will trigger

Code: Select all

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9732fb42-c321-11d1-836f-00a0c993f125} not registered
The id is Martin Heller's mhLabel which you can find listed here : http://www.internetsecurityzone.com/Ent ... 993f125%7D
