OCX failed to register on installation

[Belinda Frick]

This is because another version of this file is already installed on the windows machine. To overcome this, do the following.

• Open an explorer window to c:\windows\system
  (or C:\WINNT\System32 on NT/2000 or c:\windows\system32 for XP)
  
  find the file cfx32.ocx
  rename it to cfx32.old.ocx
  
  find the file cfx32.oca
  rename it to cfx32.old.oca
  
  find the file cfx32.lic
  rename it to cfx32.old.lic
  
  
• Now install the BDE again. This will install the new cfx files.
  
  On your TOPAZ install CD in the BDE folder you will have a 'setup.exe' file. Run this file to do the BDE install.
  
  
• If this fails the file can be installed manually(registered) with the REGOCX32.exe file that is included on the TOPAZ CD in the EXTRAS folder.
  
  XP: START -> command
  D:\Extras\regocx32 c:\windows\system\cfx32.ocx (or C:\WINNT\System32 on NT/2000)
  
  Please Note: This will only work if the cfx32.ocx is present on your PC.
  
  
• If this doesn't work, make sure that the following DLLs are on the system:
  MFC40.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL, COMDLG32.DLL, ADVAPI32.DLL, OLEAUT32.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL.
  
  On the TOPAZ CD in the \Utils\MFC\ folder, you will find a folder
  for different operating systems.
  Within these folders are the MFC files that should be copied
  to your Windows\System\ Folder (or WinNT\System32 on NT and 2000).
  Do not overwrite ANY files.
  
  
• Once you have done this, you can re-install the BDE.

Now your Topaz should work.
