BUG: LPKTool Does Not Display Some Licensed ActiveX Controls

• Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.01

SYMPTOMS

The LPKTOOL distributed with the Internet Client SDK does not display all licensed controls registered on the system.

CAUSE

LPKTool displays only controls that have the CONTROL sub-key in the registry under the ClassID of the control in HKCR\CLSID. This subkey is used to mark controls as suitable for generic containers (that is, Visual Basic, Internet Explorer, and so forth). Controls that do not have this sub- key are not be displayed as it is assumed that they are not suitable for use in Internet Explorer/Visual Basic.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
