FAQ: SetUp
| Where do I find ActiveBarcode? After the installation of ActiveBarcode - where is the Application (EXE file) that I can launch? | ActiveBarcode is a control (OCX). An OCX-file is a control that cannot be started like an EXE-file. You need a container (the client) for example Access, Word or Visual Basic that hosts the control (the server). The client can use then the features of the server. For example MS-Access can use ActiveBarcode to offer barcodes in forms, reports, lists and labels.
|
| DLL's: What DLLs are required by ActiveBarcode? | ActiveBarcode needs the following DLLs in the /System (or /System32) folder: mfc42.dll, msvcrt.dll, olepro32.dll and oleaut32.dll. These DLLs are normally found on most Windows PCs, but you should ensure that you have the latest versions of these DLLs - especially if you encounter problems with ActiveBarcode. If you install ActiveBarcode, the required DLLs are installed to your system.
|
| I did run the install, but the ocx has not been registered. The setup finished properly without any errors but the component is not visible in any application. Any ideas? | You can use regsvr32.exe (this should be on your system) to register the control manually. Launch regsvr32.exe barcode.ocx and the control should be registered then.
|
| Failed installation: ActiveBarcode install failed? | If you run into errors during the install routine send a bug report by Email. Please be sure to install the latest version of ActiveBarcode. The install-routine provides you with detailed info if there were any problems. These info would help us to help you.
Technical background: In order to add ActiveBarcode to your available controls it has to be registered to the registry. This is done automatically during the install process. If the registration fails you should check if all required DLLs are available and up to date in your /System (or /System32) folder. Please be sure to install the latest version of ActiveBarcode - so you can be sure that the required DLLs were installed together with ActiveBarcode.

|

How is that with ActiveBarcode? | You do not have such problems with our software. The licenses are not bound to a PC. Our software must be also NOT be activated on the Internet or by phone.
|
| Trial version: I have tested your 30 days Trial. Goes the demo version automatically off after 30 days? | The Trial version is no more applicable after 30 days. You can uninstall the software of your system (Windows control panel-> software) any time.
