Browse All TopicsI'm very new to Linux and am trying out an evaluation of Xandros. I'm trying to run an exe program that I wrote that works on Windows. I was able to install it using Crossover and my setup.exe. My program seems to run fine except that it didn't register a couple of activex components used throughout the program. Normally if the setup.exe doesn't take care of this I run regsvr32 "filename.ocx" and it's taken care of. I see the files I need and even a regsvr32.exe but don't know how to use them in Linux. Can anyone tell me how to register my activex controls or if it's even possible? One of them is the richtx32.ocx in case that helps. Thank you

You should be able to issue the following command at a standard linux command prompt:
HOW TO_Install _and_updat e_World_Of _Warcraft_ with_wine# Installing _Active_X_ for_the_ne w_Patchsys tem
regsvr32 ~/.wine/drive_c/<PATH TO richtx32.ocx>/richtx32.ocx
Make sure that you escape any spaces in the pathname with a backslash such as in "Program\ Files". If you need some more help, you could also look at the following web page. It includes some instructions for getting ActiveX working with Firefox under wine in order to make the World of Warcraft game update properly.
