Plugin.ocx [solved]

[Ambrosia]

Hi there!

I've deleted Microsoft Front Page, Netmeeting, Movie Maker, etc. and their empty folders remain in Program Files folder.

The folders were properly deleted on version 1.34. I've this problem only since I've changed to 1.35.

I can delete the folders through a Batch file, but I'd like to know what's going on.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you kept SFC enabled this time?

Also see if there are entries to delete those folders in the nlite.inf.

Then if they are see in windows\setuperr.log if there was some error during install.

No, I've kept SFC deactivated.

I'm sorry about what I've said, but I've just discovered that those folders are system protected. I cannot delete them while I'm running the current OS.

The only error I get in setuperr.log is the following :

Error:

Setup could not register the OLE Control E:\WINDOWS\system32\plugin.ocx because of the following error:

LoadLibrary returned error 126 (the specified module could not be found).

I've never noticed this problem before, but perhaps I had had it already. How can I fix it ? By replacing the file manually ?

Seems like you were finally right : there was something strange with SFC. I've rebuild the OS with SFC properly deactivated, and everything went right.

Thanks for the solution (it was my mistake, now I'll take care about it).

But you made me discover the error with the PLUGIN.OCX file that cannot be registered.

If someone can help me to fix it, it would be nice. I can add it manually, but does this solve the problem. Does this file really need a registration?

I finally found the solution by myself: it is Ryan's Update Pack fault. This file is obselete an can be surely deleted.

It's not faulty, the thing is the entry to call that file after it is removed can be cleared only if you disable SFC.

Just ignore that message if you see it in the logs, it's harmless.
