Plz let me know if the URL works!

Aminal · January 2003

Interesting program, but I have a question. I tried making a Commander bind and it generated this:

bind "A" "hotkey86; wait; wait; hotkey69"

I was under the impression that you couldn't add any extra commands to any "hotkey" bind. Would this bind work?

Also, it would be even better if you could double-click on a key in the keyboard screen and have it pull up that key's current setting.

Good job so far though!

Acrylic · January 2003

You make a good point....try that hotkey bind and let me know if it works. I was planning on adding an autosave/overwrite function in v5, and also somthing along the line of what u said about the keyboard. thnaks very much for the comments

WARNING...Do not install this program until Acrylic fixes his install/un-install!

Acrylic,

You are using common OCX's in your program, but feel the need to install and register them in YOUR folder (created during install). Guess what? Your install program registers the OCX's to that location. When you uninstall the program, it unregisters and removes the OCX's. Therefore, any program that uses those common OCX files (normally found in the system32 folder) will fail to run until they are re-registered.

You can't mess with someone's system like that just to get your software to run. :/

Aw, darnit! I wanted to try this thing out! Fix it!

Blackout · January 2003

What do you mean by registered? Are you saying the installer alters the registry to point the path for those files into its own little folder?

EnemyWithin · January 2003

Yes. For the system to use OCX files, they have to be registered with the OS (including location). Normally these files are stored in the system32 folder (under NT/XP) as it is shared code that many programs use. This program installs it's own versions into it's own folder and re-registers them to that location. If you un-install the program, your system will no longer have access to those OCX files.

ahh crap, i installed it already .... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'>

I thought XP had implemented features from preventing programs overwriting or deleting shared files...

Anyway, when this problem is fixed could someone let us know?

EnemyWithin · January 2003

The files are not being overwritten. They are being "registered" to a new location. I'm not sure if XP will help with this, as I installed under W2K.

Arkaine · January 2003

This looks quite interesting...think I could have a peek at the source code? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Misfire · January 2003

what do i do now, i installed it , am i in trouble? can i uninstall it safely?

Acrylic · January 2003

you will be fine, if it gives you a hard time download the OCX's and put them back into your system folder, like i said, i NEVER had a problem or a complaint b4!

Ok, people heres what you do:

If you already installed v4 and uninstalled it and it gives you a hardtime about DLL's or OCX's not being registered then open the folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32
find the DLL or OCX it wants you to register. Click and drag that file to regsvr32.exe (this is in the same folder) and it should re-register it for you! If you have any further questions or problems ASK ME! I am very sorry for this and any problems that occurred!

EnemyWithin · February 2003

Sorry to bring up this old topic, but I finally got around to fixing the OCX mess created by this program. For those that need to fix the mess, make sure that your un-register the OCX's before you re-register them or it won't work properly.

You will need to open up a command prompt and change to the system folder.

To un-register "TABCTL32.OCX" type:
REGSVR32 /U TABCTL32.OCX

To re-register "TABCTL32.OCX" type:
REGSVR32 TABCTL32.OCX

You will need to do this for all the OCX's and DLL's that NS Toolbox used :/
