I am facing the a problem while trying to build a project which tries
to register an ActiveX control. The build fails showing the message
error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Registering ActiveX
Control".
For some reason, your control fails during the registration. You would
have to debug it to find out why.
Make sure Project | Properties | Linker | General | Register Output is
set to No. Also go to Project | Properties | Build Events | Post-Build
Event. It's likely that Command Line setting invokes regsvr32 - if so,
set Excluded From Build to Yes. As a result of these changes, your
control will not be automaically registered duing build process, which
would allow you to build successfully.
Now you need to find out why it fails to register in the first place. Go
to Project | Properties | Debugging, set Command to regsvr32.exe and
Command Arguments to "$(TargetPath)". Put a breakpoint into
DllRegisterServer implementation in ProjectName.cpp. Run under
debugger - you will hit a breakpoint - single-step from there, figure
out where it fails.
Once you get it to register successfully, you would probably want to
undo the changes you made to project properties.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
