VLS 3.xxx Installation Failure

Postby dreadLocks » 31 May 2016 23:49

Hello,

I installed VLC 2.xxxx on WINDOWS from the website using an installer, it worked fine.

Then I read about the nightly update which is VLC Version 3.xxxxx that has some feature i need, so I downloaded that.

Since the nightly builds doesnt seem to have an installer, I just unzipped and copied the files over the old VLC 2.xxx install.

Now when I try to use the VLC Version 3.xxx in my Visual Studio C++ 2015, it keeps telling me that the ActiveX component is not registered (it was registered when I use the activeX for Version 2xxxx)

Does anybody know how I register the new active-X for VLC version 3.xxxxx because I dont see an installer for it, just a bunch of files.

Thanks

UPDATE: I uninstalled VLC 2.xxx and reinstalled VLC 3.xxx using the 3.xxx installer, but same result, Visual Studio says that the active X control is not registered on this computer when I try to place the VLC component on my dialog box. then it will not allow me to place it in my dialog box.

Any idea whats going on?
