Hi All,
As in the title, I'm trying to un-register and then re-register an OCX file using powershell.
This needs to be done on a remote machine.
So far I have:
# declare the local target path variable
$LF_Path = "C:\Windows\SysWow64\MSCOMCTL.OCX"
$Machine = SomeMachineOutThere
# un-register the ocx file from the machine
Write-Host " Unregistering MSCOMCTL.OCX..."
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Machine -ScriptBlock { & 'regsvr32 /u' $args[0] } -ArgumentList $LF_Path
# re-register the ocx file from the machine
Write-Host " Reregistering MSCOMCTL.OCX..."
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Machine -ScriptBlock { & 'regsvr32' $args[0] } -ArgumentList $LF_Path
The issue I'm faced with, is that un-registering yields the error:
The term 'regsvr32 /u' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path
was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (regsvr32 /u:String) [], Command
NotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I can find a great number of examples online for registering, but only one on unregistering. The one for unregistering is using cmd which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Can anyone help?
