Technically, when option "Install" selected the function DllInstall is being called within ActiveX component.
If "Register" selected, the function DllRegisterServer is being called.

Install is used rather rare and depends on recommedations of the component developers.

Register option should be usually used only.

Thank you for your response. I am attempting to utilize Enigma Virtual Box to merge an .exe file with some ActiveX DLLs. However, I am encountering a runtime error 429 on Windows Server 2016 that states "ActiveX component can't create object." Could you provide any suggestions on how to resolve this issue or need any settings on Windows Serve 2016?

Have you tried it on other versions of Windows? Does it work on others, but do not work only on Win2016?

If so, please send us non packed files at support@enigmaprotector.com we will try to test the file on Win2016 on development environment.
