TGL Editor Error

[Kirk]

The TGL editor, found here, gives me this problem when I try to run the program. I am unsure what to do to fix this.

[MLeo]

Try not installing it to C:\Program Files if you are using Vista.

But it's quite possible you are missing a VB runtime (or something like that).

[Kirk]

I installed it to C:\TGL Editor and the same error occurs.

[MLeo]

Try writing this in the command line:

Code: [Select]

regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

[Kirk]

What do you mean by this? Do I add it to the shortcut path like one would to enter testmode?

[MLeo]

In the command line/prompt.

In case of Vista (which I think you use): Start/Orb->The search bar->cmd->Enter
Then type in the text above and press Enter.

In case of XP: Start->Run->cmd->Enter
Then type in the text above and press Enter.

[Kirk]

Here is the result.

[MLeo]

It's .ocx not .ovx

[Kirk]

dang, that's my fourth typo :x

Received the same error, just properly spelled.

[MLeo]

Then it would appear you don't have that file, it's odd, since it's a standard file in Windows.

Try navigating to your System32 directory in the Windows dir.
You use cd .. to go up and cd <<dir name>> to go down the directory tree, <<drive letter>>: to change drives.

And try again.

[Kirk]

again, same results
Also, you were correct that I am using Vista.

Have you tried the things outlined here:

Especially the last post (of that page atleast) is of interrest.

Hey MLeo, you said

But it's quite possible you are missing a VB runtime (or something like that).

Does this mean a visual basic file? I do have a visual basic 6.0 install disc that I haven't installed yet, should I? Also, I tried the last suggestion, and no luck. I would have download the file in question from the link on page one, but McAfee has red-flagged the site.

[MLeo]

Try installing the VB6 Runtime (you don't actually have to install VB6, just the runtime).

I do find it rather odd, since comdlg is a standard library in Windows (has been since Windows 95 or maybe even earlier).

[Kirk]

Install vb and everything works fine now, thanks a bunch for your help MLeo.
