MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2005Uninstalling an OCX (regsvr32 is not enough!)
Hi, after updating my own OCX file I noted that it cannot be inserted any more in a Word document. It says something like: "Object created in {long exadecimal number}. The application cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved or renamed." What happened? In order to update my control, I followed this sequence of steps: - unregister the prevoius version using regsvr32/u - rebuild (and overwrite) the OCX file - re-register the new OCX file with regsvr32 ...but it seems that it wasn't enough.:( I have to completely remove what was left in the register about the first version of the OCX file, and start over. But how can I do it? Using regsvr32/u is useless (I tried many times with no effect), must I manually clean something in the register? Just for information, I can use the new version if the control in any VB project. It arises errors in Word only. Thanks very much in advance, Try this (no guarantees) -- Start Word and switch to VBA. Go to References and browse to your OCX (ie add it as a reference to the project). Save, close, restart. If all is now OK, you should be able to unreference it. > Hi, > after updating my own OCX file I noted that it cannot be inserted any more [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > project.

I tried, but with no effect. :((( Curiously I was anyway able to add that control on any UserForm (it worked regularly) even if I couldn't put it directly into the document. > Try this (no guarantees) -- Start Word and switch to VBA.
