Thread: Failed to load control "HBX"
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 Your version of HighlightBox.ocx may be outdated.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? -- Thomas Sandford

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.
