HHActiveX.dll - Windows Explorer open folders in separate window (Win7/ Vista)


windows explorer open folders in separate window when double click them.

 

adobe robohelp html 8 update 1 , 2 installed sequentially on windows xp.

 

hhactivex.dll  8.0.0.203 registered installer

 

problem:
what we're seeing is, after installing hhactivex.dll our product suite on 32-bit windows 7 system (and vista also), after rebooting computer, windows explorer open folders in separate window when double click them. occurs when windows explorer set open them in same window.

 

solution:
this seems have registration of actxprxy.dll and/or ieproxy.dll. reregistering these dlls , rebooting fixes problem.

 

this web article mentions side effects in internet explorer , couple of other programs come this.

 

here's web page outlines we're seeing , how fix manually:

in windows 7 (and vista also), guid of library has changed {b8da6310-e19b-11d0-933c-00a0c90dcaa9} {c90250f3-4d7d-4991-9b69-a5c5bc1c2ae6}. also, registry entries concerned actxprxy.dll under hkcr\clsid\{b8da6310-e19b-11d0-933c-00a0c90dcaa9}; last component in registry path old guid, , that's causing problem.

 

questions:
the previous approach provides way fix problem adding code reregister 2 dlls @ end of install. developer prefer not have add install code fix problem in first place.

 

 

1) known issue adobe hhactivex.dll , windows 7 / vista? (i didn't find web search or in adobe forums.)

 

2) newer hhactivex.dll available fix issue?

 

3) adobe have fix windows explorer problem dll causing in windows 7 (and vista also).

 

4) suggestions?

thanks

hi,

here developer did fix issue.


msi install: installer unregistering actxprxy.dll , ieproxy.dll on windows 7 32-bit pcs

 

problem: the problem being caused adobe's hhactivex.dll, dll have install because of browse sequences/ glossary in new application help. dll registering against actxprxy.dll using guid in use prior vista; , in turn caused windows explorer problem, among others.

 

fix: added custom action called after application installed (or reinstalled or upgraded) reregisters 32-bit actxprxy.dll , ieproxy.dll. (since problem doesn't manifest on 64-bit systems, custom action leaves 64-bit actxprxy.dll , ieproxy.dll are.) rolled registry deletions done in shared - third party merge module in previous attempt fix bug, changes found unnecessary.

 

cheers
