[lerxst2112]

Open an administrator command prompt.
CD to the resources directory of the tool you are trying to run.
Type 'for %i in (*.ocx) do regsvr32 %i' without the quotes.
You should get several dialog boxes saying the registration succeeded.

[lerxst2112]

That is not an administrator command prompt.

[Shadow33]

i did that and i get this on some ocx's when typed this window poped up and read this........this file dose not have a program associated with it for performing this action Please install a program or, if one is installed,create an association in the default programs contral panel. what ever that means is these files getting blocked some How ?

[lerxst2112]

You're doing it wrong. Go back and read my first post and follow the instructions exactly and it will work. The error message you're getting leads me to believe you are typing the ocx file name directly, and that is not what you should be doing.

[Shadow33]

ok i been typing it c:\diablo_items\resources\regsvr32 a.ocx just a exmp for u

[trevius]

Try just right clicking on the register_ocx.bat file and select "Run as administrator". That should be simple enough.

[lerxst2112]

The problem with right-clicking the batch file and running it as administrator is that the working directory won't be set properly so the files can't be found. It also doesn't always elevate the commands in the batch file properly.

The instructions I gave above are very simple. You just have to follow them and it will work.

[Shadow33]

will try it when i get up and leave a post btw i done did all that stuff not sure whats going on it works good on my xp pc but not windows 7 gotta be a hick some where

[Shadow33]

ok lerxst2112 i did as u asked and this is what i got

[Shadow33]

well i looked in folder and no COMCTL32.OCX is in the resource folder do i need to find that file or a replacment for it ?

link to your ocx.

You installed the ODBC drivers?

Once you have this done, check the integrity of the ODBC connection to yor database via my tool
http://www.georgestools.eqemulator.net/test_connection.zip
This tool does not require any ocx's, and is a basic connection tester.

Eureka !!!!

Finally the answer everybody has been looking for , works perfectly .

Thank you !!!

[BosConan]

Does not work for me
tried it many times re downloaded the tools run in admin cmd reg cmd and still get the same errors

When running in admin i get %i is not recognized as a internal or external command

[lerxst2112]

It's a built in dos command. If it isn't working it is because you did not type it exactly as shown or you are in the wrong directory when you did type it. You can copy/paste it to avoid confusion.

[liquest]

So ive seem to run into an issue here, Ive got all of the things downloaded, and when it comes to registering them all but msdxm.ocx fails to register. I open the CMD in admin from the folder itself, ive downloaded the ODBC_DRIVERS, i just cant seem to get this to work. Any suggestions?

[wolfwalkereci]

You are trying to run the bat file provided? That has never worked for me or anyone I have ever helped.
Someone else posted the fix on these forums which I have saved in the tools main folder. Not sure if this is what you tried but here it is.
Edit this path to suit your needs,
open Command Prompt, then
cd C:\Everquest\EMU_Server\GeorgeTools\Diablo_Items\r esources
Press ENTER
for %i in (*.ocx) do regsvr32 %i
Press ENTER

[GeorgeS]

Although I am pretty sure, WinXP and Win7 work fine. Not sure about Win8 as I don't expect to use that OS. Also Win server OS's probably will fail as well.

GeorgeS

[liquest]

Kk, well i did something and got them registered. but now i get something saying 'error connecting to database, and that my ODBC drivers are not installed which they are.

[GeorgeS]

For which tool/s are you having trouble with?

G.

[liquest]

"Everquest Perl Quest Editor 1.2.5"
"Database Editing Tool Suite"

[liquest]

Sigh it's. still not working this is a bummer

I am currently running the 64bit version of Win 8 and I can confirm this works correctly in registering the .ocx files.

Unfortunately I am having trouble after running both item editor and NPC loot editor.

For the Item Editor it begins to load then Error in Connecting to the database - perhaps a missing version field in the Variables Table? and then the program proceeds to load correctly. When i click start I get another error, Run-time error '-2147024894(80070002) Automation error The system cannot find the specified file

The NPC loot editor begins to load then Error in Connecting to the database - Did you register all the files? But then proceeds to load correctly and accesses the zones with mobs. I know I registered all the files because I ran Lerxst's command and they all came back as successful, but Im just curious on why this would display. Perhaps because Im operating on Win8?

I know my DB.ini file is correct because the spell import/export tool works correctly as well, and the only difference between the two db.ini is one specifies the EQ folder path which I know is correct.

[GeorgeS]

Ok sounds like "logfile.txt" is missing in the folder

[Sinclipse]

Hey George, I installed your tools on the computer, and tried running register_ocx as admin, and as normal, gave me 5 errors I navigated to the place where the files are (C:\Users\Sinclipse\Desktop\Tools\eqitems\resource s) and did the for '%i in (*.ocx) do regsvr32 %i' and it registered all the files, no errors no nothing, perhaps the register_ocx is bugged? Just wanted to give feedback.


THANKS FOR YOUR TOOLS THEY ARE AMAZING <3 <3 <3

[GeorgeS]

The register ocx file works only when you have sole account ownership, as an admin. It can work fickle at times..

[JerginsSoft]

Hey, Just did a search to see if anyone else was having problems.

I'm trying to use this editor on AX Classic, and it seems the icons are all jacked up...

But I got it working using the above advice, with the command prompt, so its useable after turning off the sound.

Am I doing doing something wrong or is there something not compatible with AXClassic?

[Gregk]

Confirming that this worked. Administrator command prompt did the trick.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

NM - npc_editor seems to be working ;)

[Tegila]

installed these all recently, and while trying to make newer recipes (crescent reach tradeskill quests) with tradeskill_recipes I kept getting missing icons and it would crash.

So, I went and used someone else's tool to pull icons from my recently patched Live gamefolder, then another program to convert them from png to gif, and then changed all their names to fit the format he used. Everything works great.

I would be happy to share the fully updated icons folder I have for this if someone would point me to the best way to do so (I can't host it myself)

I used current patched live client, not the RoF2 client, so some icons may not work in game unless those client files also get hosted somewhere, but it gives a bigger selection to work with.

Google Drive is one (15GB Free) Also Dropbox is another.

[Dryamzord01]

to get to the resources folder and validate it well the cmd as I write it?

when I open the cmd in administrator I get C: \ WINDOWS \ system32> that I write next to get to the resource folder and validate it?

[Dryamzord01]

when i open the .bat, it only accepts me in registerserver in quartz.dll and accepts the msdxm.ocx, the other modules do not load

[Dryamzord01]

can not load the module, make sure that the binary file is stored in the specified path or debug it to check for problems in the bonial file or the dependent .DLL files can someone help me with this? not opening a cmd with administrator I can register the files, only the quartz.dll accepts me and I load the msdmx.ocx, the others do not

[superpally1]

This worked for me using windows 10.

Change the register_ocx.bat contents to this :

regsvr32.exe /u a.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u DXAnimatedGIF.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u imagelist.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u MSCOMCTL.OCX
regsvr32.exe /u VFmp3player.ocx
regsvr32.exe quartz.dll
regsvr32.exe /u MSHFLXGD.OCX

and then run the register_ocx.bat as admin
