Question

I get the following error when trying to register an ocx on a particular machine. (windows xp 32 bit)

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for “file.OCX” contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).

But it works fine on my Windows7 32 bit and another Windows7 64 bit machine.

The only difference I can see besides the operating system is that on the two machines it works we have
Delphi 2009 and Microsoft visual studio installed. (From what I read Visual studio may have something to do with it.)

How could I go about getting this ocx to register properly on a Machine without Microsoft visual studio?

Thanks

P.S.

The manifest version is 1.0 (in the ocx file) if that helps.

Here is the manifest

 <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

The manifest indicates that the component has dependencies on MSVCRT and MFC, version 8, aka VS2008. You will need to install those dependencies on any machine that needs this OCX. This means installing the re-distributable packages that MS supply.

I would expect that the OCX vendor details these dependencies and recommend consulting the OCX documentation.
