If you have a 3rd party ActiveX control you want to use, you must
distribute it to all your FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView users, just as you
would to any FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook users. Consult the
documentation that came with the control to learn how best to deploy it
throughout your organization.
Close FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView and verify in Task Manager that
acview.exe is not running before you install and register an add-in.
