What do I do to use ActiveBar in Windows X64?

I installed ActiveBar3 eval..
but It's not works in x64 platform.
(execution file for Win32 platform works good.)

O/S : Windows XP Professional x64
Compiler : Visual Studio 2008

eightbit,

This behavior (problems with registering a 32-bit DLL (OCX) on x64 system) may occur because the Regsvr32.exe file in the System32 folder is a 64-bit version. When you run Regsvr32 to register a DLL, you are using the 64-bit version by default. To resolve this issue, run Regsvr32.exe from the %SystemRoot%\Syswow64 folder.
The Syswow64 folder contains the 32-bit versions of Windows program files and DLLs.

Also please note that VS 2008 is unsupported environment for ActiveBar.

Supported environments are:
Visual Basic 6
Visual C++ 6

Thank you,
Andrey T.

activebar was successfully installed and 32bit application works fine..

but my simple 64bit application does not work !
it seems that it cannot create activex control.
you said activebar is 32bit dll (ocx),
does it work 64bit mode ???

i read that 64bit activex and 32bit activex is saperate and can be use same guid.
is there 64bit version of activebar dll (ocx) ??

eightbit,

Unfortunately, there is no 64-bit version of ActiveBar.

Thank you,
