MSDXM.OCX will not register

[Maze_EQ]

Ok so, I'm seeing

I am running win2k8r2, 64 bit for reference, drivers are installed.


This also will not allow me to use the items editor, and probably other tools, ran the connection test and it throws me to connect, this is being a pain in the cock.

Yes I've searched, theres no mention of MSDXM.OCX

It registers fine on Windows 7 x64. I would suggest your problem may be due to using an unreleased operating system that does not have all the bugs worked out yet.

It has to do with media player files, that could be my issue....my server is a standalone fileserver without the whole media suite, etc.

[Maze_EQ]

Also stated, Server 2008 R2, which is released...it's not 2012

I think that is the same file that fails to register on my computer as well of course I stripped windows media player out of my OS because it is junk but the program still works it just won't play sound.

[Maze_EQ]

I recieve a run-time error as soon as i try to boot the program, not really sure what the issue is, installed ODBC drivers, and still fails to connect, and hits me with runtime, so I'll post more shots as soon as I can access the machine.

Usually can troubleshoot this stuff myself, but it just seems to be a minor annoyance, maybe it has to do with my version of MYSQL? can you tell me which you are running on 2008?

[blackdragonsdg]

Using MYSQL v5.1.62 on Vista x64. I have never tried the tools suite on any Server OS so no idea if it will work or not. From what I have seen with other programs it could just be a case of incompatibility with Server 2008 but like I said I don't know for sure.

[Maze_EQ]

It's running fine on my Win7x64, I'll have to do research, it's no big deal, just need to figure out how to make it work from a separate machine on the network, if possible due to this runtime, but as I said, I'll post the runtime when I get home.

[lerxst2112]

Sorry, I read the version wrong and though Windows 8.

Registering ocx files wouldn't normally have anything to do with mysql. If you open it with Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) on the machine where it doesn't work it may help to track down what's missing. Ignore any complaints about ieshims.dll though, because it seems like everything complains that is missing but everything still works.

Ok, this error comes from your system not having DirectX runtime 9c or better. The quartz.dll is missing from registry and causes the crash.

There's a copy of this file in resources folder, and needs to be registered with

regsvr32 quartz.dll

Quartz registers, and thank you GeorgeS, I found that out when I went to run EQ on the server to fix a problem, appreciate it! Atleast we know the cause!

[GeorgeS]

Sorry for late reponse

C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32.exe MSDXM.OCX

that should work
