Articulate Snagaroo?!: Codejock.CommandBars.v11.2.1.ocx


So, I recently went to publish an course in MS PowerPoint via Articulate Presenter. To my dismay I received an error message! Error message "Codejock.CommandBars.v11.2.1.ocx", what's that?!? In my frustration I Googled the error. Apparently it's a known Articulate problem.


To rectify the problem I tried doing the following:


If you receive an error message while using Presenter ’09 that Codejock.CommandBars.v11.2.1.ocx is missing one of its dependencies or is not correctly registered here’s what you should do:


See if the file exists here C:\Windows\System32\Codejock.CommandBars.v11.2.1.ocx.


If the file exists:

  1. Download register_codejock.zip.
  2. Unzip the file.
  3. In Windows Vista, right click the file register_codejock.bat and select Run as Administrator. In Windows XP, double click the file register_codejock.bat.
  4. You should receive a message stating that the file registered successfully.
  5. Launch PowerPoint and try to duplicate your issue.

That didn't work, so I did the following:

  1. Uninstall Presenter ’09 via Start -> Control Panel -> Programs (Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (XP or earlier).
  2. Download and reinstall the latest version here.
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. Launch Presenter ’09 and see if you can duplicate your issue.
  5. If you can check to see if the file exists and then repeat the steps above for If file exists.

Success! After my reboot, Articulate and MS PowerPoint behaved once more.
