regsvr, XP?

I´m writing a program that register the controls(ocx) inside itself.
It works fine on win98 but when I run it on XP the regsvr says it
can´t find the file I want to register.

I know XP have regsvr in directory "windir\system32" but it still don´t
work... I try to manualy regsiter them whit regsvr and It don´t work either.
It just tells me that it can´t find the file...
So what can I do?

When you invoke RegSvr32.exe from within your program, make sure you give is a fully qualified path..

call shell("c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe " & app.path & "\MyControl.ocx")

If this isn't your problem, what does your code look like ?

Sorry this is not the problem...

the thing is that I can´t even do this:

I go to the XP command promt and go to the "windir\system32" directory. Then types in:
regsvr32 c:\whatever\fname.ocx

and I get the message can´t find file, I´ve checked whit various directories for the file but it wont work.
This is extremly odd... I´m not an expert but I do know that a program should be able to find a file if u give it the right directory, and that is what I have done.
So, some help would be most kind.
