User (Legacy) Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 My project is written by Visual C++ 6 with Chart FX 98. It worked fine under Win NT4.0. However, after I upgrade to Window 2K. Whenever, I click on the Chart FX form, it pops up the error msg "The Active X control cannot be instantiated". Does any one have the same problem??? How do you fix it? Really appreciate your help, Boby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Did you re-register the control ? what version of the component are you using, please check for service packs available. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted October 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 How do I re-register the control? I thought it did that when I reinstalled the application. I do have both legal license for ChartFX 98 and new Chart FX client server. What is design-time license? It also pop up the msg that it requires a design-time license.

Software FX Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Did you re-install Chart FX 98 after installing Windows 2K ? A design-time license is what you have when you buy the product and install it. Make sure that you are an ADMINISTRTOR when you install the software. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted October 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Yes, of course, I re-install ChartFX after installing Windows 2K and I got administrator privilege on my computer. At first, I thought the ChartFX 98 is not compatible with win2K, that is why I bought the new client & server version. However, it still doesn't solve the problem. What else do you suggest me to do to make it work?

Software FX Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Try this: 1) Create a NEW project and drop a chart in it. 2) If this works, it means your installation is fine, and the problem is with your project. To fix your project: a) Open the Dialog(s) where the chart is included, change the chart size back and forth (to dirty the form) and save it. Recompile and run 3) If you also get the error in a brand new project, then it is an installation problem and the only explanation I can find is that because of permissions issues the registry entry for the chart fx license could not be created. Most of our users run Windows 2K, including myself and most of our own personnel so I'm sure that Chart FX works fine in Win2K, I don't believe this problem has nothing to do with 2K but rather it has to do with the re-installation of the software. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted October 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 I am really appreciate your time, I have tried to reinstall the ChartFX 98. Now, it works fine on new project, however, the old project I got this msg "Control IDC_CHART1 could not reload its state from its data saved from the last time the dialog editor was used. The control will be uninitallize on the dialog." Does it mean anything to you???

Software FX Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 I think what's happening now is that you are trying to read a resource created with a NEWER version of Chart FX, maybe you touched the dialog AFTER you installed Chart FX 5.x. You should be able to read it if you install the latest service pack from our support site. If this doesn't work, please e-mail us the resource file containing the dialog so that we can figure out what's wrong with it. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
