Self registering 16 bit OLE server in Win 3.1

[NewsArchive]

I have an OLE server that I created with VB 4 - 16 bit. It contains the
"OLESelfRegister" string in its version info. The setup I created using
ISE2.01 runs great under Win 95, but fails on Win 3.1 machines at the time
the server is being registered with a message box stating "Unable to
register the following files : myapp.exe". The only depencencies it has
are the standard VB required files and they are all already on the target
machine. The OLE server will register fine if I use regsvr on the same
machine. It just fails during the setup process.

Thanks in advance for any help,

I have the same problem and mailed InstallShield and got the following
reply:


I apologize for taking so long to get reply back to you.

The news are that this is an issue with InstallShield Express when
installing a
16-bit self-registering OLE server exe's to win 3.1 platforms. The only
work-around for now is to copy files
as uncompressed and register it using regsvr. I've introduced this problem
to
the Express
developers--I can't give you any dates on when a fix for this will be
available. But the fact that
it often comes up should speed up the process.

Thanks and apologies for any inconvenience.

Any more news InstallShield?

Steve.
