'You need MSSTDFMT.DLL'
« on: December 19, 2006, 08:45:48 PM »
Since 2.42.9L (or earlier), I get a runtime error 713 'Class not registered' whenever I try to access the custom costs panel. It's not really a problem since downloading the offending DLL AND typing "regsvr32.exe msstdfmt.dll" in the command box of Windows' Start menu solves it, but it might bother newbies.

Wow.  Interesting.  There's nothing special about the costs dialog - no special controls or anything, just a bunch of standard check boxes and single line entry fields...  and I've changed nothing I know of that could cause this.

Have you recently uninstalled something that might have unregisterred and removed the DLL?  But I don't understand why it occurs on the Costs dialog.  Strange.
Many beers....

Did the suggested fix help?

I need to make a new installer part of the release process (and automate the release process while I'm at it).  That would fix these sorts of issues.
