Q1000012: When trying to register your component (asocket.dll), REGSVR32 returns the following error: 0x80070005
This is not a problem of the toolkit itself, but has something to do with security settings on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and higher.
Please try the following:
When starting the command prompt, start it from the start menu by locating the "Command Prompt" in the start menu, now right click on this item and select "Run as Administrator".
When you try to register the component from the command prompt it should work okay.
You can also try to turn of UAC (User Account Control)

Q1000016: Can I use REGSVR32 to register your 64-bit component?
Yes, you can use REGSVR32 to register the 64-bit component (ASocketX64.dll), e.g.:
> REGSVR32 ASocketX64.dll

> REGSVR32 ASocket.dll
To make use of the 64-bit DLL, you should use a 64-bit application or 64-bit interpreter, e.g.:
> CSCRIPT.EXE Icmp.vbs

Q1000017: I want to re-install ActiveSocket. I uninstalled first, but now the installation tells me that I cannot install it in the same destination directory as before. Am I doing something wrong?
You are right: you cannot install the product in an existing directory.
Upon un-installation, the original directory (default: C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\ActiveSocket) is NOT deleted in case there are files created/modified after the previous installation. You must delete these files/directories manually.
Once the directory (C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\ActiveSocket) is deleted, you can re-install it in that directory.

If you copied the ASOCKET.DLL file manually to your system and registered manually, you should first de-register the component by running REGSVR32 -u ASOCKET.DLL, and then delete the ASOCKET.DLL file.
