Windows 7 is ignoring cmcs21.ocx

[Fawfulfan]

I just got a new computer, and am using Windows 7 for the first time ever. When I try to edit the MAINCFG lump in SRB2 Doom Builder, it acts like it doesn't have cmcs21.ocx, even though it's in there.

I did select "Run as Administrator" for SRB2DB, by the way.

You also need to register the OCX. Stick the file in system32 and run the following as an administrator:

regsvr32 cmcs21.ocx

way to read, bro

 

[Fawfulfan]

What do you mean 'run that as an administrator'? Run it using what program?

 

[Conic]

I'll hold your hand. I'm assuming you've already put cmcs21.ocx in system32.

Open the start menu, type "cmd.exe" without the quotes.

Right click the result that comes up, and click run as administrator.

Allow the program to make changes.

Type "regsvr32 cmcs21.ocx" without the quotes, obviously. Press enter.

Then open Doom Builder and try again.

That didn't work, but I fixed it another way.

I happens to me in the same way, in Wind-d-dows XP.

 

[Krabs]

That didn't work, but I fixed it another way.

What is the other way? I have the same exact problem.

 

[Router]

Is it ignore the file of SRB2 Doom Builder, why I use Windows 7.

I'd love to hear how you fixed it since I have the same problem.

I've just installed SRB2DB on Windows 7 x64bit machine. It's refusing to register cmcs21.ocx.

I followed these steps: http://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/User:Ezer%27Arch/Sandbox#When_the_Level_Header_crashes_at_you_.28and_it_pisses_you_off_a_lot.....3E:D.29

Then I got a message something like "This module cmcs21.ocx might not be compatible with this version of Windows you're executing. Verify if it's compatible with x86 or x64 version of regsvr32.exe".

I tried to check Doomworld forums, but the topics I need are unaccessible for visitors. :S

Any help will be appreciated.

You need to make sure that you get the 32-bit version of regsvr32. The 64-bit version (which is still called regsvr32) is earlier on the search path and so is found first. See this Microsoft KB article, but in brief, run

\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 cmcs21.ocx

Or you could wait until Workbench is ready...

I don't know wether to be Excited, Happy, or Mad.

When did you start working on this?

OMG! It worked. I need to write it somewhere.
Thanks for saving my life. ^^'

OMG^2! The latest build I downloaded some months ago already had the isometric view, but I couldn't pan nor zoom in or out, I see you've implemented the zooming.

When did you start working on this?

About 2 years ago? :3

 

[SSNTails]

About 2 years ago? :3

Holy smokes no. More like 4-5 years ago.

 

[Oogaland]

When did you start working on this?

August 2006, I think, although I did very little from October 2009 until a few months ago.

WOAH WHAT?
I thought the developpement of SRB2 Workbench was discontinued or something.
Will there be 3D Mode?

 

[MascaraSnake]

No, isometric view is supposed to replace it.

 

[Oogaland]

No, isometric view is supposed to replace it.

I might have been unclear in IRC about this: there will indeed be a (perspective) 3D mode; in fact, I'm working on it right now.

 

[ThunderNova]

What a smart tactic, bump an incredibly old problem that's been solved to sneak in a hint that you're continuing work on a community-adored project.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

 

[MascaraSnake]

The one who bumped the topic was Ezer.Arch, not Oogaland, and it was a perfectly valid bump. All that Oogaland was answer Ezer.Arch's question and drop a little hint about Workbench along the way. And even if Oogaland had actually bumped the topic, it still wouldn't have been your job to complain about it.

I know.

I was acknowledge how genious it was.

I wasn't being sarcastic.
