Antview ocx manifest file that will work for reg free Com in VB6

[Batduder]

I tried your suggestion above, but Microsoft Visual Foxpro 9 is still unhappy and wants the control registered.

1. On the target/test PC, I unregistered antview-2.0-x86.dll and WebView2Loader.dll just to be sure of where I was starting
2. I put a copy of AntView-2.0-x86.dll (32 bit) in the same folder as my app binary on the target/test PC.
3. I put a copy of WebView2Loader.dll (32 bit) in the same folder as my app binary on the target/test PC.
4. I modified my app's manifest file to add the AntView 2.0 dependency and a bit of the security stuff.
5. Ran the app
6. Same results, Foxpro wants AntView 2.0 to be registered.

I am running on Windows 11 on the target/test PC.


If I manually register the DLLs with regsvr32 it works fine. But as stated, I cannot do that during a "patch" install on customer's machines.

Here is my manifest file for the app:

Code:
