I've installed a program to be used with an assignment in one of my classes but I can't get it to run. It was written by a graduate student that has long since graduated. I've used this program before on winXP and it works fine but I can't get it to run on windows7 pro 64-bit.

When trying to open, I get the following message:
Quote :
" Failed to load control 'MSFlexGrid' from MSFLXGRD.OCX. Your version of MSFLXGRD.OCX may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application. "


The MSFLXGRD.OCX on win7 pro was not in the system32 so I tried the following things:
I copied the MSFLXGRD.OCX in the sysWOW64 folder to the system32 folder, and registered the OCX. Didn't work.
Next, I unregistered the ocx, removed it from the folder, and copied an older version provided with the program into the folder. I registered it as well. Didn't work.

I'm still looking on google, but unregistering-reregistering the ocx is the only solution I can find.

Any ideas?

are you sure you're registering it with the 32-bit version of regsvr32?

start > run > C:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe msflxgrd.ocx

or try copying the ocx into the directory with the executable you're trying to run

I assumed the ocx that came with the program was 32 bit and the one on my computer was 64 bit. I tried both.

64-bit windows is fux3d up

like System32 is for the 64-bit libraries, while the 32-bit ones live in SysWOW64

it actually makes sense if you think about it

things that run in 32-bit space don't even see/know about the syswow64 folder, they only see system32 like usual.
