Hi Dave, I manage the ocx registration in this way.
In attach three files: - Register_calendar_ocx.prg a sample that show how to do - Util.prg Create a project with only this program and create Util.exe needed to Register.prg - Register.prg The registration routine * register / unregister EXE, DLL, OCX * uses ShellExecute with "runas" starting from Windows Vista * m.pp_file Character: file to register / unregister * avoid SUBSTed path that may not exist when using "runas" Administrator * m.unreg Logical: unregister, default .f. * m.verbose Logical: verbose, default .f. * m.dir Character: run directory, default current directory When needed UAC ask for authorization. Tested also on Windows 8.1.

I have a routine that used to run brilliantly on XP but it just fails on Win 7 despite giving the indication that all is OK. I am sure it is to do with elevated permissions and UAC. The additional problem is also to decide whether to copy the OCX into the Windows\System, or Windows\System32 or Windows\SYSWOW64 folder before registering it as the OCX's required are held on a network share, but that is just a nicety just to package the OXC installation up into a one off "if it isn't there then install it" routine. I would ideally like to use only inbuilt VFP commends (DLL Calls etc) and not have to shell out to the command window on both 32 and 64 bit operating system versions. Thanks in anticipation.
