Another controller program problem, it wont install on Windows 7.

[Deville]

Hey guys,

I have been trying to get my controller program setup on a windows 7 machine 64 bit as it's the only windows computer I have. All I want to do is turn down my regen braking down a bit but...

I cant seem to get the program to install, it only goes as far as the licence agreement and after I click accept I get run time error 339 ( See attached picture )

I read through this post here, http://goldenmotor.com/SMF/index.php?topic=4081.0 and followed Alan's directions and I did indeed get the scrrun.dll error ( See attached picture )

So I followed the link Alan said I should look at here, http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/396412-solved-scrrun-dll-wont-register.html

This didn't seem to help, it's also an old post from 2005 that seems to be dealing with Win XP only.

I have also looked through here, http://goldenmotor.com/SMF/index.php?topic=3917.msg22970#msg22970

And a bunch of other places on the web and I'm still stuck. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I have installed it on three pc's now. Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The same thing happens every time. As soon as I run it Norton sees it is going for the USB port and deletes it every time. No matter how many times I install it Norton deletes it. Once I tell Norton to stop deleting it everything is fine. Maybe you are using Norton Anti-virus or something similar?

Hmm, no I don't have any anti virus software running that I'm aware of. I use my windows machine strictly for surfing so I really don't have much use for it, although it is a newer laptop and it might have a demo version of Norton or something running in the background. I'll check it out and report back later.

Thanks.

Hi andto the forum.

At least two other members on this forum have experienced the same problem that you appear to have.
You can read about one of them here.

I have previously searched on Google and found another solution to a very similar problem.

Hopefully one of these links will help you to sort the problem.

Ok, so I don't have any anti virus software so we can rule that out. Alan's first link he posted for me led me to this, http://majorgeeks.com/faqshow.php?id=8

I followed these directions and downloaded MSCOMCTL.OCX then I put it in the C:windows/system directory as it said.

After this the program installed but now it wont open, I am getting a "Component comdlg32.ocx or one of its dependencies error ( See attached pic )

I then ended up here, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/comctl32ocx-error-in-windows-7/051b2862-b4a1-45fc-aad8-140ed32dc682

I tried what user Shinmila H said to do and got this error, Module comtl32.ocx failed to load ( See attached pic )

Now I'm still stumped, I'll just keep searching google and what not and hopefully I can figure it out. I really appreciate all the help, I'll update if / when I find a fix.

Thanks.

I did this: I have download those files and put the files in the install folder of GM software.
I had no more of those errors.

I tried what user Shinmila H said to do and got this error, Module comtl32.ocx failed to load.

You won't be able to register the file if the file is missing (or invalid), I suggest you follow the instructions on this webpage to download and install the missing (or invalid) file.

Please let us know if this solution works OK.

Thanks alot Alan, the final step I needed was in the last link you gave me http://devonenote.com/2010/02/register-comdlg32-ocx-on-x64-win7/

The software is now installed and running. Thanks!

Probably the best method is to just install the vb6 runtime dependencies directly from Microsoft.

Another solution is to download http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomctl.cab and http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/comctl32.cab from microsoft. Extract the content using winrar or similar, right click the mscomctl.ini/comctl32.ini and click install. This will copy the mscomctl.ocx and comctl32.ocx to the right place and register it.

Both methods works fine on Win7 x64

EDIT: I just tried the programmer on Windows 8 x64 Pro and it worked perfectly out of the box, no need to install any runtimes. You have to run the setup as administrator (right click setup and select "Run as Administrator) or you will get an error if installing to default directory (C:/GoldenMotor). You might not need admin rights if you install to a user folder, but I haven't tried.

EDIT2: There seems to be differences among the different computers I've tried this one. Latest try on windows 8 x64 (fresh install not updated nor activated) needed to manually register the comdlg32.ocx file as described in Bikemads link.
