Borislav,

It was a while back - and just when I needed to know - I found your reply - thanks!


>>I recently downloaded and installed 2 OCX updates published in April of 2005 to address memory leaks related to implementing OCX (imagelist, toolbar, listview, treeview, etc) in my VFP 5 project.
>>
>>The files (COMCTL32.OCX and MSCOMCTL.OCX) dated April 15 2005 need to be installed before my project can allow the user to take advantage of the "AllowColumnReorder" property of the MS OCX Listview. If the user does not have the files installed, the project will need to set the "AllowColumnReorder" to false.
>>
>>The upgrades are in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. My questions:
>>
>>1) Will they always be there - eg - when the user starts the program - the program checks WINDOWS\system 32\ for the names and dates required.
>
>Yes, they would be in Windows system folder (for Win98 SYSTEM, for later versions SYSTEM32)
>
>>
>>2)For software already distributed - would I need to rebuild the installer - and reinstall the project - or can the user just download them without shipping them a rebuilt project?
>
>The user can just run exact the same update you installed on your machine. No need to ship new build of your project
>
>>
>>3) Will these be the files the Merge Module inside ISE uses to build the setups?
>>
>
>It depends how you included them in your ISE project. If you include them as separate files they will be. If you include Microsoft Common controls MSM file the controls which are in that MSM will be installed.
>
>>Thanks!
