Hello.
There is a great activex control for map display and manipulation. It's name is mapwindows (www.mapwindows.org).
Its free, royalty free and open source. Now, for deploying mapping applications for my customers i have to pay $2k to mapobjects to use its activex control. But this control (mapwingis.ocx) can do whatever maopbjects does, for free.
Here comes the problem:
I tested the OCX in VB, works perfectly. In VFP, I put the map control in a form and it runs ok (no map).
In order to load layers I should instantiate an object (mapwingis.shapefile) . This command runs fine:

x= createOBJECT("MapWinGis.ShapeFile.1")

I can even have intellisense for x after this. But when I try to use the shapefile object I got this error:

"OLE Error code 0x82blah blah......Library not registered."

Of course I have already registered the OCX and included the control in VFP.....no way.

I feel like Tantalus, too close and too far. Please any help ?
