Can't Create Simulation CLOSED (VISTA)
« on: September 28, 2007, 06:51:45 PM »
Whenever I try to run Darwinbots II, I get the error message
Quote
Run-time error '339':

Component 'RICHTXT32.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
and then it closes.

Also, when I try to run the 2.43 patch, it first displays the error message

Cannot locate the settings file
and then

Are you running Vista by chance?

Apparently vista doesn't ship with those particular VB runtime libraries.  Let me upload mine.  Move them to the System32 folder (assuming Vista has a system32 folder...)

You'll then have to run the following command on the command line to register it (ie: go to "run" and type this in):

regsvr32 [Your windows install]\system32\comct232.ocx

then type in

regsvr32 [Your windows install]\system32\RICHTX32.OCX

I'll try to change the download page to include vista instructions at some point.  You're like the third person to have this problem...

Where might this System32 folder be located?

I don't know vista, but if it's like XP it should be in something like c:\windows\system32\

Apparently, I have both files, and I don't want to replace system files.

Then mearly typing the instructions Nums indicates should fix your issue.  Let us know if it does not.

I bet Vista does not actually ship with the files, that it was the DB 2.1 installer that laid them down - it works fine on XP - but that there's some sort of Vista security thing that prevents the DB 2.1 installer from registerring them.  Your probably not running as a local admin or eqivalent.  There was a lot of work done in Vista to let users run at reduced privledges....

I did manage to find a page that says Vista doesn't ship with those DLLs, but it does support the XP versions, and VB should be supported for the life of Vista.

In vista, I think run is just a blank space in the Start menu where you can type stuff.

VB is supported, but not source versions of VB (for VB6 anyway).

So, what will it be? Will you submit to my will, or must I bend reality to suit my needs?
Better answer before I do BOTH!
