MSCOMCTL.OSX with Windows 7

(1/1)

Edit: Disregard this please - I forgot one simple step - set the right compatibility mode for the icon! It fixed it!

I can't run darwinbots on windows 7 because when I attempt to it comes up with this error message:



This happens with all versions of darwinbots.

I did some sniffing around since I'm not very confident with computers and I didn't know what the heck this meant. Didn't find a thing about it on the forums here, so went to look on google. Turns out it's something that was on older versions of windows and now windows 7 doesn't support it? Anyway, I couldn't find a 64-bit version of the file, downloaded a 32-bit version just to try it out. Placed it in the system32 folder, and attempted to register it (never registered a file before, I don't even know what that even means, I just read you have to do it).

So, did so, and I got this message:



After even more searching around I'm at a loss. I don't know where to go next with this.

I have seen other users on here mention they are using windows 7 so there must be a way to get it to work.

Numsgil:
So it's working for you now?

Trilobite:
Yep, it's working.

For the most part anyway, speciation window won't come up.
