Hi,

You can copy axvlc.dll where you want on the system, regsvr32 the copied ActiveX is enough to make it ready for use. But at runtime, this ActiveX will look for plugins folder guessing libvlc install location.

This registry key entry seems to be used to guess VLC install dir (at leat in 0.9.0):

key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software > VideoLAN > VLC
value: InstallDir

Then, "\plugins" is concatenated to this value. I don't know how axvlc.dll find the link to libvlc.dll. I think it is just dynamicaly linked so having libvlc.dll in a folder added to PATH environment variable could help maybe.

Hi,
I got it working,
I copied axvlc,libvlc,and plugins folder to "C:\program files\VideoLAN\VLC"
Registered axvlc using regserver
Created a registry entry,VideoLAN>VLC-InstallDir = "C:\program files\VideoLAN\VLC"
And it works fine
Thanks,
Naveen
