SBuilder Users?

[falcon409]

After reinstalling Win7 on the new computer, I have begun getting odd errors on some of the carry-over utilities I use. One such is SBuilder and the error can be seen below. I installed the file it talks about there, however even after installing, it continues to give me the error. Of course it doesn't say what file is causing it now, just "one of it's dependencies". Has anyone ever run into this before or maybe know how to correct it? Thanks!

Falcon - I had this problem in W7, and found this info (somewhere) which cured it.

After installing SBuilder and the above file, you need to manually edit the sbuilder.ini with the following information:

[Main]
PolyTexPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\SBUILDERFS9\Texture (your path to texture)
MacroASDPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\SBuilderFS9\Tools\ASD (your path for asd)
MacroAPIPath= (your path to api if applicable)
Rwy12Path= (your path to rwy12 if applicable)
BGL2Folder=C:\Program Files (x86)\SBuilderFS9\scenery (your path)
BGL1Folder=C:\Program Files (x86)\SBuilderFS9\scenery (your path)

Worked for me, hope this helps.

Ardy.

A lot of programs not shipping with the Visual Basic runtime files produce these errors at startup.

Google for the filename, download and copy it into windows\system32. That's all.

No, that's not all. You also have to register the file with Windows. A web search should find the procedure for your OS.

Thanks Tom. I was getting ready to post that but got diverted to 'grocery shopping' instead.

Ed, here are two pages that address the registry issue - read them thru ( first one is not for Win 7 but gives background)

On this bare Win 7 system TABCTL32.ocx was found in \Windows\sysWOW64\ but it seems that it may be equally ( or necessarily for SBuilder) at home in \system32

A search should find other references ( including likely some at Microsoft support)

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in answering. As it turns out, I already had it in the system folder. . .so I made a copy, pasted it in the sysWOW64 folder and it started right up, no problems since. Thanks again for the assist.:salute:

I think I might have a set of .ocx files (for running Radar Contact) around somewhere, complete with a batch file to easily register them. Anyone interested?

Oh, yeah, that too.
