Kodak/Wang Image OCX Controls - File Requirements

The Kodak/Wang Image OCX Controls are installed as part of Imaging for Windows. In order to have a copy of the ActiveX OCXs to use in application development, Imaging for Windows must first be installed (if not already installed during the Windows installations).

Imaging for Windows is an optional install during the Windows installation. If not already installed, Imaging for Windows can be reinstalled from the Windows installation CD. For the more ambitious, the following is an advanced method of performing the install. This method is described in here to provide information on the files required for Imaging for Windows to run.

The description below is based on a Windows 2000 system. It should be similar with minor variations for other Windows systems.


Required Files


The following is a list of the required files for Imaging for Windows to run. The list is a combination of executables, OCXs, DLLs and the Help files:

IMGADMIN.OCX, IMGCMN.DLL, IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGHELP.HLP, IMGMGT.CHM, IMGMGT.HLP, IMGSCAN.OCX, IMGSHL.DLL, IMGTASKS.CHM, IMGTHUMB.OCX, IMGVIEW.CHM, JPEG1X32.DLL, JPEG2X32.DLL, KODAKIMG.EXE, KODAKPRV.EXE, OIENG400.DLL, OIPRT400.DLL, OISLB400.DLL, OISSQ400.DLL, OITWA400.DLL, OIUI400.DLL, TIFFLT.DLL, XIFFR3_0.DLL

These files can be found in the \I386 folder on the Windows 2000 CD in a compressed format. The Extract command is required to expand the files. Alternatively, these files can be copied from an existing Windows 2000 system in the C:\Windows, C:\Windows\Help and C:\Windows\System32 folders.

The executable files need to be copied into the C:\Windows folder, the Help files into the C:\Windows\Help folder and the OCXs and DLLs into the C:\Windows\System32 folder.


Registering The OCXs

Once the files have been copied into their respective locations, the ActiveX control files (i.e. the OCXs) need to be registered with the Windows operating system. This is performed using the regsvr32 command. Go to the Start | Run menu item. In the Run dialog box, enter the command “regsvr32 IMGADMIN.OCX” and press the OK button.

Register the remaining OCXs:
“regsvr32 IMGEDIT.OCX”
“regsvr32 IMGSCAN.OCX”
“regsvr32 IMGTHUMB.OCX”

Note: To un-register the OCXs, use the /u flag. For example, to un-register the Image Admin OCX, issue the following command “regsvr32 IMGADMIN.OCX /u”.


Launching Imaging for Windows

Once all the above steps have been completed, create a shortcut to the executables and proceed to execute Imaging for Windows.
