Overview

Occasionally, registration of a Formulate2 component will fail during installation. If this occurs a message will be displayed advising you of the failure. The message will provide the name of the component and an error code. Failed registration of a component may or may not affect the operation of the Formulate2. In either case, the safest course is to manually register the component by following the steps outlined below. In the following illustration, the Microsoft Hierarchical Flexgrid component MSHFLXGD.OCX failed to register properly at install time. The steps below illustrating how to manually register MSHFLXGD.OCX may be used to manually register any component that fails to properly register during installation.

These images are from Windows 7 (32 bit).

Move the mouse to the Windows Task Bar and click on the Windows Start button in the lower left hand corner of the screen. In the search box at the bottom of the Start Menu, type cmd.

Typing cmd in the search box will display a menu similar to what you see blow.

This action will display the Command window as shown below. At the flashing cursor in window shown below, type the following text then press Enter.

Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Formulate2 For Windows\MSHFLXGD.OCX"

The text after Regsvr32 that describes the path to MSHFLXGD.OCX MUST be enclosed with quotation marks as shown above. If you don't enclose the path in quotation marks, the path to the component will not be parsed correctly and Regsvr32 will not be able to locate MSHFLXGD.OCX and will be unable to register it.

If the manual registration is successful, RegSvr32 message window will be displayed indicating that the component was successfully registered.
