Missing OCX Control when installing.....

Anon

When the installing of PHP 4+ ends i get the message that my system is missing an OCX control and setup cannot configure my webserver automatically. Wich OCX control is needed? PLEASE HELP!

Anon

It tells you what OCX is missing if memory serves correctly, also note that you have instructions with your distribution that tells you how to setup the webserver if this problem happens.

The dialog does not tell me what OCX I need to get and install.

I am running Windows 2000 Server, SP2. IE version 5.

The title of the dialog is "Unable to configure webserver" and the body is "Due to a missing OCX control on your system, the installation Wizard is unable to configure your web server. However, PHP has been successfully installed, and all you need to do now is manually configure the web server as described in the install.txt file which can be found in your php installation directory."

I don't want to manually configure the server, since I am trying to put together an install plan that even a lowly test lab monkey could run (which is why I was trying to use the Windows installer).

Thanks in advance for any help in finding this OCX.

Find a copy of MSCOMCTL.OCX. You can get it off of an existing Windows 2000 computer or from the web. I downloaded the Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 5 and extracted it out of MSCOMCTL.ZIP.

Copy MSCOMCTL.OCX into the C:\winnt\system32 folder and run:

REGSVR32 C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MSCOMCTL.OCX
