install scripting support tool problem

[LouP]

I managed to install MCD v11.2a on a new Win7 computer, and almost all seems to be working OK so far. One of the scripted components not working is one that I find quite handy - a "File Selection" button from Richard. This routine is attached.

I attempted to install per instructions, which has worked on XP machines. After copying the file as directed, when I tried to register the "wshCommonDialogs.ocx" file in the DOS window, I got an error msg (see attached image).

Anyone know if there's an updated file or procedure to fix this?

P.S. - I did search as the error msg suggested, but got nothing I could make sense of.

You don't write how you tried it exactly. The error message means, as you probably found out yourself, that you do not have enough rights to register the DLL.

Since Vista Windows has new security features and it does not suffice to have admin rights, not even using the admin account itself. You have to open the "DOS" (console) window (command prompt) using "run as administrator". Hope this helps - good luck!

Thanks a lot. I had a similar problem. Running as admin helped.

That worked! I used the DOS window using "Run as Admin" and also had the default DOS dir in win/sys32 (belt and suspenders:-). In any case, the script now runs as it should.

Thanks,
