See Step 2 for manually installation of WGA Activex Controls



Microsoft Solution provided by another User:

If the WGA issue occurred when the Windows system has been activated, it was likely
caused by one of the following factors:

1. A security program running background prevents the validation tool from running
properly.
2. The WGA engine was not installed or running properly.

We can take the following steps and see if the issue can be resolved.

Step 1: Disable the security programs temporarily
==========================
The following programs can prevent the validation tool from running properly. I
suggest we disable them temporarily to test the issue:

Norton Security programs
Panda Antivirus programs
Web Accelarator programs
Anti-Spyware programs

If any of the above programs cause the issue, please check if it can be
re-configured to accept the WGA ActiveX control. Otherwise, please temporarily
disabled to enable the WGA validation tool. However, please re-enable the application
after we complete the troubleshooting steps.

Step 2: Install the WGA engine manually
==========================
The WGA engine may have been already installed but is not working properly. We can
use the following steps to reinstall it. This will ensure the engine files be copied
and registered properly.

1. Download the ActiveX cab file from the following link and then save it to the
Desktop.
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...eckControl.cab Open the downloaded cab file and we will find the following three files: GWFSPIDGen.dll LegitCheckControl.dll LegitCheckControl.inf 2. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "%windir%\system32" (without quotations) andpress Enter. Copy the GWFSPIDGen.dll and LegitCheckControl.dll files into the openedsystem32 folder. 3. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "REGSVR32 LegitCheckControl.dll" (without thequotations) and press Enter. We will see a popup message state this processsucceeded. 4. Click "Start", click "Run", type: "inf" (without quotations) and press Enter.Copy the LegitCheckControl.inf file into the opened inf folder. 5. Right click on the copied LegitCheckControl.inf file in the inf folder, and thenchoose Install. The WGA engine will be installed automatically. After we finish the above steps, please restart the computer and try to validate theWindows again."Man" <> wrote in messagenews:B3672417-BD2D-4412-B5F5-...> How Can I Reinstall WGA Activex controls?
