Hi all.
Not sure if this is a bug that’s been fixed or not, but thought I’d mention it just in case – please feel free to remove the post if not relevant - or correct me if i have done something wrong!
(Using CR13_0_15 for visual studio and the same run-time version on client laptops..)
I have Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 and recently attached Install Shield 2015 Limited edition to my project.
I upgraded the Install Shield project from 2013 to 2015 when asked to by the upgrade wizard and all seemed well.
My project happily installed on windows 8 and 10, but I received a “Flash.ocx registration failed” error when deploying to windows 7 machines – however the app ran OK despite this.
After spending a day trying to figure out why only windows 7 pc’s are affected I decided to backtrack and try the same project but with the older 2013 installer.
I can now deploy the project on windows 7, 8 and 10 with no error messages on any platform.
So there’s something (I don’t know what it is) that’s giving me an ocx error when deploying my apps on windows 7 only, using VS2013 with Install Shield 2015 – so if anyone out there has a similar problem then you might want to investigate this combination first?
Anyway – there you go - i'm sorry i don't have an explanation or any other information.
Hope it helps someone – perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can explain why?
Regards
Ian Allen
