[Help] Shockwave player 64-bit.

[Jason]

Hey guys.

I'm having trouble using the Shockwave player in VB.NET on my 64-bit vista PC.

Well for starters it's not even in COM components..

SS



Also, before when it WAS there, whenever I tried to run my program with the object there it would always return this error.



After doing some research I found that a lot of people that had this error were on a 64-bit OS and that is apparently the problem.

My 2 questions are:

1. How the hell do I actually get the player back into my COM components (where do I browse for it typically, what's the file called etc.)

2. How do I get the stupid thing working on a 64-bit computer.

Hope you guys can help

J-Deezy.

Default Name is AxWindowsShockWavePlayer1, default toolbar name is Shockwave Player and default .dll name is AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects.dll.

Ik this doesn't help you xD

I could upload the .dll, however I guess this won't help u tho.

I'm going to search for AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects.dll in the registry and then try manually add it back in.

64-bit is so friggen frustrating -.-

There isn't a 64-bit version of Flash Player (ActiveX for .NET). To access pages with Flash content, you'll have to open an instance of IE 32-bit.

at components press "browse" and go to its main folder and choose 2 dlls... (idk which 2.. just find)

Can you plz bother to read other's posts !! ? There exists dll's but not for 64 bit !!! Class not registered means the system architecture is not supporting the activeX !!!

IE64-bit is a "level 2" browser. Flash and ActiveX controls are only supported in "level 1" browsers (e.g., IE 32-bit). You need to turn your default web-browser to IE32. I don't think you can handle this. It's a bit advanced !! If you still want the conversion then I can suggest you some articles.

Bleh you're probably right, I'm too lazy to figure all this shit out just to fiddle around with flash trainers. Shame really. I really need a 32-bit computer. 64-bit just seems to come with a shitload of problems.

[Jason]

Okay well one problem sorted. Got the actual object in the toolbox now.

Now just to get the fucker working

EDIT: shit double post, sorry. Please merge /remove this?

anyway, there's a way to make your PC from 64bit to 32bit... i think it's a programm, so the others 32bit won't work su u'll have a 32bit PC

u manually edit it in the vbproj file

Project => Projectname.vbproj(open in notepad)

add this after the declarations:

<PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>

finished (about)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="https://schemas.microsof*****m/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <PlatformTarget>x86</PlatformTarget>
