Problem with ActiveX Controls

[Novica B]

We are running 2 Project web servers (Production and development) and I need to connect to both from my PC. The problem is when I connect to one, and then try to connect to the other it asks me to download the controls every time, and the only way it will recognise that i have downloaded them is if I remove the existing ones.
Can anyone help me?

Hallo No way,
you go to the Windows folder on your computer and open the
Downloaded program files (this one is hidden, so you need
to make it "visible"). And there you will find the two
ActiveX controls that are downloaded when you connect the
the PWA for the first time. From there you can delete
them. Hope this helps.

FYI -

The best way to handle the situation of removing the controls and

re-adding them is to remove the controls [using a DOS command window and
deleting all pj*.* controls] to ensure that you catch all of the hidden
files and you should also unregister the controls using regsvr32. This
ensures that the next time the controls are downloaded/registered that you
will have a clean install.

I think Gary C. posted this info a couple of weeks back also.

Brent,
It didn't work. I unregistered all PJ*.* contols, then deleted them. It went in as normal, asked me to download the controls, and then it went back to asking for it again when i switched to the development server.

I'm not sure what is happening to you but I have this scenario setup in our environment and it works fine. Here are a couple of items that you could check to make sure it is working properly.

1) When you unregistered the controls did you do this using the path from where they were registered? It is possible that your regsvr32 / u didn't complete successfully.
2) When you register the controls are you registering them in the order prescribed by Microsoft in the 'Active-X' download article?
3) Are you sure that when you register the controls you are registering them successfully? If not then PWA will not see them in the registry when it is run and it will try to push download them again.
4) Verify that the control class is not still resident in IE and that they are not damaged. You do this by going to IE-->Tools-->Internet Options-->Settings-->View Objects. There should not be any pj* classes that exist since they are in the registry.

Those are just some ideas and they may not lead you to your answer, but that is where I would start.
