activeX Controller wizard

[Goncalo]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an activeX controller by importing a tlb file.

I'm getting the error :

Win32 error : -2147319780

Anyone knows what the problem could be?

Thanks

The error 0x8002801c occurs when there's a problem accessing the OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) registry. Insufficient system permissions will trigger this error code when the registration of an OCX (OLE control extension) file fails to complete.

In other words you may first have to actually register the ActiveX component on your system from within an elevated administrative privilege account before you can access it from your normal user account. This is usually the task of an installer for a component, that will require account elevation and usually prompt for the administrative credentials on startup.
