Thread: Failed to load control "HBX"

Failed to load control "HBX"

From

Whenever I try to run pgAdminII I get the message

Runtime error '372':

Failed to load control 'HBX' from HighlightBox.ocx. Your version of
HighlightBox.ocx may
be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was
provided with
your application.


I get the same results with both 1.1.34 and version 1.1.28.

I am running on Windows 98SE. I used windows installer to install first
version 1.1.34, and then, when that failed to work, version 1.1.28. I
de-installed the previous version before trying the next.

Any suggestions?

Hi Thomas,

Hmm, that's a new one. Can you please uninstall any copies of pgAdmin that
you have installed, and then confirm that the C:\Program Files\pgAdmin2
folder has been removed.

Next, please check that Highlightbox.ocx is no longer anywhere on your PC
(it normally lives in C:\windows\System). If it is, before removing it, try
unregistering it with (from the Start -> Run box):

regsvr32 /u C:\Path\To\Highlightbox.ocx

Once you are happy that pgAdmin is *completely* removed, then please try
re-installing 1.1.34 (forget about 1.1.28 - the error you have is unlikely
to be caused by a specific version of pgAdmin).

Please let me know how you get on.

Regards, Dave.

OK, (with pgAdmin still installed) are the following files installed and
registered on your system:

RICHTX32.OCX
Mscomctl.ocx
Comdlg32.ocx

If so, what versions of each do you have? Also, I assume you have IE
installed - what version is it?

Regards, Dave.

Hi Thomas,

I must admit I clutching at straws here - this is the first time this error
has been reported following thousands of downloads!

Anyway, you do seem to have an older mscomctl.ocx than I do - do you mind if
I email you a copy?

Regards, Dave.
