Im doing a test app with a simple animated gif using an external link to gif89.dll (using vb6 classic)

Ive added the gif89.dll into the virtual box and tried ticking it to be register as activex and also install and setup active x, but my program still grumbles its not registered ? (this is run on a windows 8 without admin rights)

Enabled files virtual is ticked
Virtualization method is set to "never write to disk"

Im just trying it with other OCX and none of them are registering. Quite obviously missing a checkbox somewhere ?

Any ideas what I havent set ?

Ok found that one of the DLLs' in question have to be installed to the "system folder" and not the default folder.


Still having trouble with the gif89.dll tho

I think that you've missed to enable the Registry virtualization, this is core moment for virtual ActiveX registration.

Just imagine, why the ActiveX can't be installed without admin privileges? Because it is unable to write values in registry path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. So you have to enable the virtualization of this registry branch.
For initial tests, I recommend you just enable Regsitry virtualization, and keep virtualization method for all keys by default.

If this does not help, please send us non packed files at support@enigmaprotector.com, it would be interesting to find and fix a problem.

Knew it would be something obvious.

Many thanks working now
