error installing real environment pro 1.0

just to give some more information:

1) when i select to back up existing texture it gives an error "Mscomctl.ocx and its dependencies are not correctly registered"

2) when i select to install the selected textures it popups a box saying "An error occured"

This appears to be an ActiveX control, I'll see whether I have this one on my machine.

Found it... it's inside my system32 folder. What it does and whether it is supposed to be there is a mystery. I would run an Error Check first and look at the results.

hi tailhook,

i searched in the system32 folder.But i could not find any such file...
Would just putting this file in the folder work?BTW i do not have this file...
Or is it that I need to install anything else before?What is the error check that you are talking about???

Thanx in advance

Ok, first a better way of finding a file is to do a search: Start / Search / All files and folders / ...in the top Search Bar enter the name of the file, klick on Search. If you have it, it will show up.

I've only just noticed that you're running XP 64bit.

I'm not familiar with 64 but since you just said that you do have a system32 folder I assume that 64 can also handle applications written for our old 32bit systems ...yes, this makes sense.

Now the file in question Mscomctl.ocx is a Windows Common Controls ActiveX Control DI File version: 6.1.95.45 - looking at all its Properties I'm pretty sure it's actually part of the OS rather than of an add-on or another application. If my assumption is correct, then you probably need this file. (If you don't have it I can upload it for you.)

Now to the Error Check. Go: Start / My Computer, right-click on Local Disk [C:], select Properties, select the Tools Tab, click on Check Now... and make sure the two little Check Boxes are checked. Click on Start and get the knitting needles out. This can take a while.
I have never found an Error though I run this Check frequently just to be sure.

All right, let's see how you're getting on 😂 😂

hey i did search as mentioned by you.But in vain.Further I do not know whether your file would be of any use as I am using a 64 bit OS..Finally I went ahead and purchased Flight Environment 3.0 and I am enjoying it...
Hey Tailhook *THANKS* for your kind help....

I'm glad Flight Environment 3.0 is to your liking and you've got it up and running 🍻
