sanchopanza Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hi, I wrote a litte tool for logging data via RS232 on the comport. I am using NETComm.ocx for this. I developped this on a PC that had MSCOMM32.OCX installed on it and ad no problems with the tool. Now I installed the tool on another PC, registered NETComm.ocx and when I start the tool I get an Runtime error 339 - that says that MSCOMM32.ocx is not registered. Why do I get this error ? I thougt that using NETComm.ocx I wouldn´t need the microsoft ocx ! Can someone help me ? SanchoPanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Did you develop NETComm? If so, all of it's dependencies must be present. If not, it may be a wrapper for a simpler interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanchopanza Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 No,I downloaded it from http://www.hardandsoftware.net/ because I read about it here in the forum and I thought I wouldn´t need mscomm32.ocx.Now I made a test and istalled the package from this site again on my other PC instead of only copying the netcomm.ocx. Now O saw, that it also installes the mscomm32.ocx on this system I´m really confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a wrapper for MSComm32.ocx for which you need a runtime license. See this thread: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13890. Actually I don't understand the licensing of MSComm32.ocx with NETCommOCX. You should ask the developper of it, Richard Grier!CheersKurt Edited December 5, 2006 by /dev/null __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

DaleHohm Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I have installed and used it on machines without MSComm32... I too am confused by the quote that Kurt found, but I don't believe there is any reliance on MSComm32 or any licensing issues.

Because the first time I only took the ocx and it came up with the error, that mscomm32.ocx was not registered. Then I installed it with the setup.exe and it worked fine. I took a look at the system32 folder and saw, that now there was a mscomm32.ocx - so this package contains a mscomm32.ocx.The question is , if it is the original ocx or only a "pseudo" ocx for make the netcomm.ocx work - without licence problem . I will try to get an answer from the developper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to get an answer from the developper.it's the original M$ mscomm32.ocx that get's installed. I just verified that. Either he is violating the M$ license or he obtained a runtime license for mscomm32.ocx. As the whole M$ licensing process for mscomm32.ocx is more than unclear to me, I don't know which is true. Nevertheless NetcommOCX is "just" a wrapper for Mscomm32.ocx.BTW: And yes, NetcommOCX works if installed with the setup tool (including the mscomm32.ocx).CheersKurt Edited December 5, 2006 by /dev/null __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

So, MSComm is required. The setup program for NETComm installs both NETComm.ocx and MSComm32.ocx -- and it registers both. If you redistribute NETComm.ocx you should use some sort of setup program or wizard. ...If you use NETComm.ocx, you do not have to have VS 6 (or VB6) installed to use it. This solves the licensing issue that MSComm32.ocx has, when you attempt to use it without Visual Studio 6 or VB 6 installed.So longSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks for the followup - I was unaware taht the MSComm was installed along with NetComm.
