Register ActiveX controls to meet browser requirements

Show expandable text

You might need to re-register the Microsoft Common Control ActiveX controls if you use Microsoft Edge to view GoFileRoom.

If your computer has Microsoft User Account Control (UAC) turned on, you'll need to turn it off then restart your computer to allow you to re-register ActiveX controls.

If you need to register the controls without turning off UAC, follow the steps below.

  1. Run cmd.exe (Command Prompt) as administrator in Microsoft Windows.

    Note: If you don't run cmd.exe as administrator, you'll receive an error and the file will not be registered.

  2. In the Command Prompt, enter either of the following depending on your version of Windows to register the ActiveX controls.
    • 64-bit: regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomctl.ocx
    • 32-bit: regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\mscomctl.ocx
  3. Restart the workstation, then select View Browser Requirements from the GoFileRoom login page.
  4. If the View Browser Requirements shows no ActiveX controls, replace the mscomctl.ocx file on your machine with a copy from a working machine. Then follow the steps above to register it.

Customers using older versions of GoFileRoom FileImporter on servers with older operating systems will need to update the FileImporter and related script to use msxml6.dll.

Alternatively, they may be able to manually register the msxml4.dll file on their workstation by entering one of the following in a Command Prompt run as administrator.

  • 64-bit: regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msxml4.dll.
  • 32-bit: regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\msxml4.dll.
