We have an COM Class (ActiveX exe) VB6 program that is in the Registry dozens if not hundreds of times to basically the same paths. 1. Our development compile output path and 2. the true target path in c:\Program Files (x86) where it should be. (There are many for each)
I do not know how it got in the registry so many times.
When we setup the program we do have the option to issue
C:\Program Files (x86)\path\TransMonitor.exe /UNREGSERVER
C:\Program Files (x86)\path\TransMonitor.exe /REGSERVER
What is causing so many to be registered?
So how do we get it so it doesn't register new ones?
How do we remove them quickly, safely and easily?
Even tried REGSVR32 /U C:\Program Files (x86)\path\TransMonitor.exe
The program does get invoked properly.
Ideas anyone???

do you unregister *before* you build the new version (i.e. in a pre-build step)?
if done after a new build, I expect unregistration to fail as it doesn't recognize the EXE.

Thanks
HHMMM!
Different Guids???
I didn't think that it would. Where are these Guids? I don't see them.
Can it be turned off? I only want the exe in program files to be registered to simulate the end user's environment.
I didn't know that the VB6 make (Alt,F, K) would register it so it was NOT unregistered first.
I am not getting any errors during the /REGSERVER or /UNREGSERVER.
(actually no response from either).
These are optional done by the setup program.
Since there are many entries for the program files then it is more then just the VB6 Make.

Read this[^].
And people wonder why I refuse to support VB6 anymore...

Thanks. I made it binary compatibible with the exe in the development lib.
I think most of MS programming languages are ugly.
Just the wording of almost everything is in-comprehensible. Takes so much to learn to lingo that there is no time for programming. (BTW: I am a dinosaur).

It's in there dozens of times because VB6 is assigning new GUIDs to your component and registers it every time you compile it.
Unregistering the component won't work because the component no long contains the old GUIDs. You have to remove them manually or find a regsitry cleanup tool that will remove the orphaned entries.

Does exist exe Application for make color transparent? For full color, not 256 colors.
If exist, so perhaps can be use this App from Vb6 App for transmit disc path of Image and set a color transparent and after this App save new Image as transparent with color transparent, obtain this Image.
What you think?
Thanks.

It is easy to make any colour transparent...
<br />
SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)<br />
That should do it!

Sadly for the OP, this won't work for him because he's using VB6, not VB.NET.

I cannot help him with his dinosaur problem then.

  Didn't the support for that run out 2/3 years ago?

At least... I'm actually praising Microsoft for dropping VB6 runtime support in Windows 8! WooHoo!! Finally, the bitch is dead!!

Does exist the possibility set color transparent within Vb.Image?
Any Method.
FreeImage, MS WIA, GDIPlus, CopyMemory, ...
By sample: I have VB.Image1 with zone of transparency. One Vb.Image1 On Form. Can be change this Image directly by change Alpha bytes of pixels of this Image1 ? How use CopyMemory in this case?
Or How use for this case the function Image1.Picture.Render ?
For VB6.
Thanks.

not vb6...but maybe it can help. Here is how I set transparency on an image it in VS2005:
Dim x As System.Drawing.Bitmap = imgMain.Image
x.MakeTransparent(dlgColor.Color)
imgMain.Image = x

Thank you, Kschuler. I will try do it. One time similar VS2005 code made a BMP Image transparent. All was Ok. But for VB6 this BMP Image had bad format. Do you know it?

Sorry. I don't use VB6, so I really don't have a compatible answer for you. Good Luck.
