COM Explorer
Explore, Manage and Fix ActiveX Controls, DLL & EXE Servers.
COM Explorer is a unique tool specifically designed to help developers
and system administrators to explore, manage and fix ActiveX Controls
,
EXE Servers (Out-Proc) and DLL Servers (In-Proc). An Explorer like GUI
allows developers to browse registered COM objects and view information
such as CLSID, TypeLib, version information, dependency information,
file information and more.
Misbehaved objects such as objects with missing files left as junk in
the registry are clearly marked. A Registry editor is fully integrated
allowing to view and edit COM settings. COM Explorer is integrated into
Windows Explorer allowing to quickly register, unregister, compare and
view COM Controls using a pop-up menu.
One of the most powerful features is report generation. HTML or comma
delimited text reports are easily generated . These reports include
a list of the COM objects installed. Strong filtering and customization
capabilities are provided as well.
COM Explorer substantially reduces the complexity of identifying COM
related problems developers and system administrators face every day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in version 1.5
The success of COM Explorer version 1.0 and the excellent fe
edback
we have received from end users and press has proven the superiority
and uniqueness of our product. To further improve the product we
integrated new features and capabilities based requests and
suggestions we have received from our users. Version 1.5 introduces
new support for a DLL dependency viewer. This powerful feature
enables you to easily detect missing DLL files that are required for
the proper operation of your EXE server, DLL server or ActiveX
Control. "Bad" installations can easily be detected and fixed.
COM Explorer includes the following enhancements:
1. A new DLL dependency viewer is integrated into the main screen
allowing for quick detection of missing DLL files. Information
about each DLL is displayed showing the version, location,
file size and other important attributes.
2. The Inventory report was enhanced to include the list of DLL
dependency files.
3. A new dialog (Find Missing Dependency Dialog) was added to
allow you to scan all ActiveX Controls, EXE & DLL servers
and to mark all the objects that are missing at least one DLL file.
4. The "View Object Details" option in the Windows Explorer popup
menu was enhanced to include a full view of the Registry,
Dependencies and general object attributes.
5. The main user interface was enhanced to allow better resizing
capabilities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why COM Explorer is a "Must have" tool?
1. Track problems
Many of the bugs applications produce end up being DLL/OCX version mismatch.
A bad install program (that does not check the OCX version) can hurt a lot
well behaved applications. COM Explorer allows you to view the attribute
s of
any registered ActiveX Control, EXE or DLL server. Information like file vers
ion,
file size or date can help you track down what went wrong. Detecting missing
DLL dependency files is made easy as COM Explorer clearly marks missing
DLL files.
2. Easy to use & quick
Anyone working with ActiveX Controls (OCX/DLL files) knows that getting them
registered and unregistered can be a hassle. Both developers and system
administrators often need to quickly register one version of an OCX and
seconds later a different version of the same control. Working with REGSVR32
for these kind of operations is OK but tends to be time consuming and is not
very informative (to say the least). COM Explorer is integrated into Win
dows
Explorer allowing you to very quickly register/unregister controls, view
control
and DLL details (Registry, dependencies & attributes) and to compare between
two
versions of COM files.
3. Cleanup the Registry
Registering an ActiveX Control and then deleting the file leaves the Windows
system in a mess. Visual Basic for example will display the control in i
ts
"Component List". The user might think this is a legitimate control.
Applications
that use this control will crash finding the entry in the registry but not th
e file.
COM Explorer clearly marks out these misbehaved controls. Even better i
t allows you
to cleanup the "dead" entries that were left in the registry.
4. Reports
The reports feature allows system administrators and developers to create a
database of all the controls installed on a specific workstation. This is a
very useful feature if you need to make sure that multiple machines all have
the same set of OCX files.
SUMMARY
Developers and system administrators that work with ActiveX Controls and DLL/EXE
servers on a daily basis need a tool that will enable them to manage COM files.
They need a better way to track and fix problems than browsing the registry
with
REGEDIT. Anyone that has worked with Active/COM knows the feeling of trying to f
ind
out why a certain installation does not work only to find that the wrong MFC4
8;.DLL
was used or is missing altogether. Tools like REGEDIT or REGSVR32 are just not e
nough.
COM Explorer will enable you to quickly solve these problems by allowing yo
u to
actually view, detect and fix the different errors. It is a unique tool any
one dealing
with ActiveX/COM should have in his arsenal.
