ActiveX exe in VS 2013

Hi,
I'm new to Visual Studio. And I was experimenting different features and project types.
But I seem not to find the ActiveX exe option when I create a new project.
Can anybody help me?

Hi AlinPop,
Thanks for your reply.
>>Microsoft tutorial says: "Start a new Visual Basic Project. On the New Project dialog box, select ActiveX EXE, and then click Open."
Based on your issue, I tried to new a project in the new project dialog in the VS2013 Community. But I did not find any projects template about the ActiveX EXE, so I suggest you can share me the link about where you see the Microsoft tutorial so that we
will further help you support this issue.
In addition, if you want to create a project with ASP.NET, I suggest you can post this issue directly to the ASP.NET forum:http://forums.asp.net/ , maybe you will get better support.
Thanks for your understanding.

How do I get the higher player than (Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe)? I cant play the same games I bou

I cant play games I bought when I was playing XP. I got Vista, and then the one numbered 7. I was told I need to get the newest Version after (Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe), that is the one I have now. Can you help me get the version that is newer? Sincerely, Lillie Yates PS. my E-mail is: [email protected]

Why won't VB ActiveX exe shutdown after using Automation close in Labview

I built an instrument driver in Visual Basic and created an ActiveX EXE server to call it from Labview (since I need to see a non-modal form (a progress bar showing time left to scan), I can't make it a dll).
The problem I have is that when the program ends, I call Automation Close to close the refnum yet the activeX exe still remains running. It may have something to do with the com port. When I run the server only calling methods that do not actually talk to the instrument, I can close it down. When I initialize the com port however, the server no longer closes down and the com port remains open.
I created another method to explicitly close the com port before I call Automation Close
but the activeX exe still remains running. When I disable the progress bar from showing and create an ActiveX dll, everything closes fine, but I would like to show the progress bar. Is there something in Visual Basic I need to do to check that it has no callers to it and close down? Any ideas?
Thanks, Trish

You could always try setting up a type of communication where LabVIEW makes a call to the ActiveX server to shut it down. For example, you implement a function in your VB program which, when called, closes the COM port and calls End(). Just call this function from LabVIEW when you are finished and it should close out. It's worth a try.

Help with registering VB ActiveX EXE

I have an ActiveX EXE that I've compiled and used on 2 of the 3 TS 3.1 systems here. We updated all the files from SourceSafe to pull in all the changes, on the 3rd system and found that the "TestListForm.EXE" wasn't registered on that system (WinXP). I tried the "regsvr32 TestListForm.exe" but XP said that it wasn't a "DLL or OCX" and ignored it. I also made sure that I pointed to the correct file in the Active-X step that calls the file within TestStand.
It wasn't until I recompiled the EXE on that computer (within VB) that it worked correctly.
Is there another way that the ActiveX EXE files need to be registered into the XP system?
There are a few more systems that we will eventually need to install this ActiveX EXE on that won't have VB.
Mike

To register an ActiveX exe, call the exe from the command line with the commandline parameter /RegServer.
For example:
MyServer.exe /RegServer
Hope this helps,

Running setup.exe for Exchange 2013 does nothing

Hi All,
Unable to find this issue anywhere else, please excuse if it's a duplicate of another issue.
Basically, I have a new 2008 R2 server setup, added it to a domain, and want to install Exchange 2013 on this new server. There are no Exchange servers anywhere on the domain.
The server is fully up to date, including .Net 4, and looking for updates results in zero new updates found.
When I run setup.exe for Exchange 2013, a command prompt appears for less than a second, then closes, then nothing else happens.
Did a fresh reboot before trying to install, and after waiting about 20 minutes to see if anything happened after the vanishing command prompt, rebooted again, tried again, same result.
There is nothing called Exchange anywhere on the server that I can find, no setup logs or anything, and I am totally stumped.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Michael

Hello,
Exchange 2013 need to be installed on windows server 2008 R2 SP1. If you use windows server 2008 R2 SP1, I sugegst you check if there is any exchange server via ADSIEDIT.

Office 2013 ActiveX Controls no Popup

Hello,
I am testing the active x control settings, but I don´t get a popup message for active x. I have enabled the option to promt me before active x code is executed, but its working without any popup. If I disable active x control the occurs the excepted behave
that no active x code is executed. For testing I have created only a simple active x control with some vba code for a msgbox.
So my question is, under which
circumstances the popup message for active x appears?
Thanks.

If the Trust Center detects a potentially unsafe ActiveX control , the control is disabled, and the Message Bar appears to notify you of a potentially unsafe ActiveX control. Depends on how the ActiveX control is marked and whether a VBA project exists in
the file together with the ActiveX control.

Windows Server 2012 R2 with Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Completely fresh install giving errors signing into EAC

Hi,
I am struggling with a completely clean installation of Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1. I followed these steps:
Installed Server OS
Windows Updates
Added Active Directory Role (This is a single standalone server that would have been SBS until it was dropped)
Added DHCP & DNS
Added Certificate Services
Added Windows Server Update Services (WID Database & WSUS Services)
Windows Updates
Added Media Foundation
Added File Server Resource Manager and Work Folders
Added Windows Server Backup
Windows Updates
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager and performed a full bare bones backup.
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installed Pre-requisites and then rebooted
Windows Updates
Ran Setup.exe from Exchange 2013 SP1 disc.
Installation completed without errors
Rebooted
Checked all running without errors in Server Manager.
I Launch Exchange Administrative Center and get "problem with website's server certificate error" (normal on machine with self-assigned certificates). Click Continue to Website and get:
Windows Security dialog box:
iexplore - "The server localhost is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from Digest"
however no username and password combination will work: have tried [Administrator]; [Domain\Administrator] even created a user to no avail.
I believe the issue is somewhere in the IIS configuration because I also get the same error when trying to log into the server website from either the server or another machine on the network.
I have tried the complete installation three times now: (full disclosure not all of the same features/roles each time). On the first attempt I got this error immediately and on try number 2 was able to get into the EAC and created the mailboxes
but then it started giving the same error. The above steps are try number 3.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Andy Halford
P.S. A Follow up which might be significant: The Default Web Site is not running and will not start (it was previously running before the Exchange installation) and when I try I get the message that Another Website may be using the same port however none
of the others (Exchange Back End or WSUS Administration) are using ports 80 or 443 and I still get the error when they are both stopped.

Could you post the list of sites:
appcmd list site
The ones listening on port 80:
appcmd list site /bindings:http/*:80:
And on port 443:
appcmd list site /bindings:https/*:443:

Installing SharePoint 2013 in a Windows 2012 R2 Server I was getting the following error

when I install prerequisiteinstaller.exe in sharepoint 2013, got the below error:
Error: The tool was unable to install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role.
Any expert please help?

Hi,
From your description, I know you get error when you install SharePoint 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
If you have tried all method above. In your case, you have installed the Web Server(IIS), but the
Web Server (IIS) role installation may fail. You could try run commande: aspnet_regii -enable –i.

Unable to uninstall Flash 10.3 or upgrade to 11.0.1.152 ActiveX MSI version

I have one computer that will not upgrade to version 11.0.1.152 ActiveX msi. The computer currently currently has versionn 10.3 ActiveX msi and it had version 10.3 ActiveX exe also installed at one time.
I ran the Flash player uninstall available on the Adobe site for Windows. It uninstalled only the ActiveX executable install and not the MSI version.
I am not able to upgrade to any newer version using the MSI version. I get this error message "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi is not a valid installation package for the product Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
If it's not valid then why is it available on the Adobe site?
All other Window XP computers are getting their updates from AD group policy and they are updating with no problem.
Looking for a fix here to either remove ActiveX 10 msi from this computer.

Well that didn't work. I tried installing the latest msi version. The 11.0.1.152 ActiveX msi version is not corrupted, it works on our computers. I need a way of completely removing this version that is installed. Adobe uninstall only deleted the executable version and the Plug-in version, leaving the msi version.
Once I get this 10.3 version completely removed I'm sure a clean install will work again coming from the AD group policy install. All the other PC's get these updates installed via GPP. I need the recommended manual removal of flash player I guess.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

.xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

Work Environment: Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
[4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
phillfri

I think I solved the issue.
Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
Environments:
[1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
[2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.

Problems using Labview as ActiveX Server

Hello,
       I have been having difficulty using Labview as an AcvtiveX server. I have reviewed all the postings on this subject and most are either pre Labview 8.2 and thus do not account for the changes made between 8.2 and 8.5 which broke the Activex server functions. I have looked at the recommendations for changing the to code to export (exported vi's in a DLL or Source distribution) and have tried these with no success. The closest example I have found was posted here http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=283417 the example code they posted does ont work for me and still generates and error 3005.
      What i need is simple. I want to turn my applicaiton into a Vi server.. Expose a vi that acceses elements in the Vi server.. (controls, queues, Globals etc) that are in the Vi server context. I would then like to build a vi .. or dll that calls the 'exposed' vi in the vi server to pass data to or from the vi server. The V test.zip example file in the above indicated post is a pretty good example of this .. it just does not seem to work when i build it in 8.5. Are there any GOOD and 'current' examples of using labview as the ActiveX server (Compiled) and calling exposed vis from an external application Labivew, Visual Basic.. etc?? I am only interested in cases where Labview is the Sever. or both client and server.
       I have used a tool "ActiveXplorer" to examine the registered "exe" when the viserver is run. It always shows that there is no Type Library associated and the object is not creatable. There is a .tlb created by the project build however, where as the previous version 8.2.1 of Labview did not build that correctly. I have also tried this on 8.6 with similar error 3005 generated. sooooo what am i missing?
      Thanks
       Louis Ashford

Mike,
       Thank you for your response to my question. The problem is that the example you site does not use the Labview vi as the Server. Excel is actually the vi server and the automation open is using and excel automation object. I am sure that Excel creates proper automation objects .. Labview however does not seem to. So while this example shows how labview can function as a client it is not an example of a compiled Labview Sever being accessed by a 'laview vi'. Possibly I am not looking at the vi that you are thinking of.
       The examples i am aware of:
                   "ActiveX Event Callback for Excel.vi... (Excel is server not Labview vi)
                    "ActiveX Event Callback for IE.vi (same Labview vi is client)
                    "Write Table to XL.vi" ( again excel is the server)
                    "3D Graph Properties - Torus.vi" (accesses an activex Control 'not' and Activex EXE)
                    "3D Lorenz Attractor Draw at Compeltion using 3D Curve.vi (Uses an activex control not activex Exe server)
                    "3D Parametric Surface - Ribbon.vi (Uses an activex control not activex Exe server)
                    "3D Surface Example - Fluctuating Sine Wave.vi (Uses an activex control not activex Exe server)
                    "Excel Macro Example.vi (Uses excel as automation server..not Labview)
                    "FamilyTree.vi (uses MSComctlLib.ITreeView object not Labview as server)
                    "SlideShow.vi" (uses PowerPoint._Application not Laview as server)
      Most of the posts I have seen are for versions prior to Labview version 8.2 (where the ActiveX server was broken) I have seen only a few posts that actually address the issue i am talking about. however thus far no real solution has been offered. I get the same results when compiling and testing this with 8.6.. as well. So have you tried this Mike? Possibly i am missing something very simple..
      The example i did find and gave the link to is a pretty simple one. This does not work on my machine at all. You can select the automation server that is registered with windows after running the server one time and this then breaks the client vi.. I have found by reselecting the GetViReference property node in the Client vi that it will the 'fix' the client vi as far as labview is concerened and it no longer shows and error. Now when you run the Client vi it will infact find the vi server and will launch it ok. However. The open automation object then hangs.. for quite some time then returns the error
"Error -2146959355 occurred at Server execution failed
in Client_reader.vi" Obviously the automation Exe (server) was seen because it was opened yet it did not return a valid reference so the subsequent property nodes in the client.vi will fail. Something is wrong with Labviews opening of or creating of automation objects..
          Thanks,,

Group Policy control of ActiveX installation

Our users are on Windows 8.1 and IE 11.
We use SQL reporting services at our company. Our users run reports from the Report Manager, which uses an ActiveX control to enable printing.
I need to allow our normal users to install this ActiveX control. Looking at this page http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn454941.aspx I added the CLSID of the control to a GPO under
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management. I linked
this GPO to an OU.
Even after making sure the policy was applied to the the computer, this ActiveX control still required popped a UAC dialog to allow the installation of this control.
What do I need to do to make this work?

Hi,
Please follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert ActiveX exe or cab file to MSI package
===================================
Install visual studio installer to create .msi package of ActiveX Control
Downloaded free Visual Studio installer from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2005/aa718352.aspx
But this requires Visual Studio 6.0 to be installed
Step 2: Place the package in network share where all the users have access
Step 3: Create an organizational unit (OU) in active directory
Step 4: Add a group policy object (GPO) to the OU
Step 5: Publish the package using this GPO
=============================
1. Open Group Policy editor and go under User Configuration > Software Settings ->"Software Installation"
2. Right-click, select new > package, and browse to the package (make sure it's on a network location that all of his users will be able to access, because this is going to become the distribution point)
3. Once you choose a package, choose "Advanced" from the options list
4. On the Deployment tab, select "Assigned", click the "Advanced" button at the bottom, and make sure that "Include OLE class and product information" is checked, and that "Make this 32bit x86 application available to Win64
machines" Also, on the "Deployment" tab, make sure that "Install this application at logon" is checked.
After that, please be assured that we need to run gpupdate /force command on the client machines after applying the group policy on the server side.
Now log in to client machine using the user login created in the OU to check if it can work properly.

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.

Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates

Is it possible to Exclude Excel 2013 interop from Lync 2013 updates? We have Excel 2010 installed and have custom COM applications that use Excel 2010 interop to automate it. When Lync 2013 is installed/updated it installs Excel 2013 interop and causes
the COM application to not recognize the Excel 2010 interop without manually deleting the Excel 2013 interop from the registry.

When you run setup.exe from Office 2013 installation media, you can customize installation and make Excel 201 not available to install.
