Hi,

I have a project backup made in WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 in Year 2014 and it was working fine whenever I open the project. But today when I opened the project, some button configured on the screens are not visible and a message is written in that place “Button_graphic (ActiveX control)”and when I complied the project, in output window some messages are coming. For example“Error  :  Failed to create ActiveX Control Button_graphic_16. Control is not installed”. Please see the attached photo. 

Because of above mentioned error I thought there is some problem with the project backup so I opened one similar project of second machine. But the problem remains same.

Again I thought the WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 software installed in my PC may have some problem so I ran the repair using the software CD and again checked both the project backup but still the problem is same.

Then I installed WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 in one more PC to check both the project backup but the problem is still same.

My PC has windows 7 professional SP1 installed in it. Process is i7 with 8GB ram and 64 bit operating system.

I am not able to understand, how to resolve this ActiveX problem. This problem is with my project backup, My PC or WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 software. Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hello,

Can you attach this part of the project here? Then I can check the details.

Regards!
