Errors when trying to register IEActiveXVoicerec.ocx #2

I'm running into errors when I try to register IEActiveXVoicerec.ocx.

I've tried administrator mode, System32 and WOW64 versions of regsvr32, full and relative paths for IEActiveXVoicerec.ocx, dragging and dropping, opening-with. I keep getting the same error.

It's telling me that it failed to load, and that the specified module could not be found.

The only time I don't get that error is when I run regsvr32 from the command line without specifying if it's the System32 or WOW64 folders' version of regsvr32. If I run the command this way it tells me that it might not be compatible with the my version of windows - hence why I tried to specify which version of regsvr32 to use.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong with getting this registered?

I'm running a windows 10 64-bit machine.

You should try to recompile the .ocx for x64 arch from sources and specify win10 SDK in VisualStudio project options. It was only tested on win7 x32.

Ah, ok thanks. I figured it must have been an issue like that. I started getting getting things set up to compile it for my environment, but I ran into compile errors centered on sf_open_virtual and one other thing being undefined. I'm not in the office at the moment. I'll try getting that sorted out tomorrow.

If I can get everything compiled, registered, and working do you want me to make a PR with my x64 windows 10 ocx?

amouniverso commented 5 years ago

Yes, that would be great.

So I was able to switch out for 64bit libs and change to a windows 10 sdk, but I'm still not able to get this registered. I'm not sure what the issue is. I don't know if the windows version is still off or what.

Is there anything else that needs to be done? Nothing else needs to be copied, or installed? Just regsvr32 IEActiveXVoicerec.ocx?

I've checked a x86 build on my windows 10 x64 machine and it seems to be working fine:

Do you do exactly as in the screenshot?

Aha! I was missing the dll files. They weren't in the release folder so I assumed that they weren't necessary. They were in the debug folder, but I didn't consider trying to install the debug if the release wasn't working.

I've got it registered, but now it seems like the base64.html demo crashes when the Stop Recording button is pressed.

Restarting the system cleared the error.

Thanks for the help in getting this working. I will try to smooth out the installation process by maybe bundling everything together for easy user install. I'll make a PR once I've got it together.
