[teh jimpie]

Hey,

I have a friend, what want to play my game, but, he get loads of errors. He could play before but he cant anymore after a system update.

1\. It says he doesnt have DirectX
2\. Missing files ..?

here you'll see a movie he made of the errors:

how did he try to fix:

1) He have installed DirectX, you can see it at the last part of the movie.
2) The client folder isnt missing any files, however, he installed the ELI and tried to register the msscript.ocx (see pic down here, he'll get error by that too)

This is simple.. He hasn't got the libary files installed to run the game engine, because the errors say 'whatever file.ocx' is missin and etcc…

He did install the eli on windows service 2000 or higher, so it couldnt be that

Okay, this is how to do it.

Download library files, now dont freak out cause i know you already installed them but do it once again.
Run the library files installer AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Make sure the Data folder is in the client folder.
Make sure the client.exe is in the client folder.
Run the client as administrator.
there hope it works.

As for the second error, that says that the syntax for using regsvr32 is to type 'regsvr32 [filename]', whereas I see he only typed 'regsvr32'. Have him type 'regsvr32 msscript.ocx', and it should work, so long as he is running as admin.

If that doesn't work, just have him find the file MsScript.ocx, and right click it. Go to properties and where it says "Opens With", click "change". Navigate to Windows\System32 and look for regsvr32\. Then, whenever you double click an OCX file, it will register it. :)

thanks, ballie
my friend is offline now, but I'll tell it him tomorrow. I'll get an error when I do it, 0x0008005 or something, maybe because I've already registered it?
