Re: xapax.ocx

["BarryG" <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it is now the end of June and I thought I would post this tidbit
for those wanting to run xapax.ocx on Win 7.

Place xapax.ocx and xapax.oca into the system folder c:\windows\sysWOW64
Start a command prompt from the Acccessories directory running it as
administrator; That is, right click on the command prompt item and select
run as admin
Do a cd in the command prompt window to change the directory to
c:\windows\syswow64
At the prompt type regsvr32 xapax.ocx and all should be well.  I believe
the issue is that both the target xapax.ocx which is a 32 bit dll and the
process regsvr32 must be run out of syswow64 so that the proper 32 bit
support entities take hold.
