Problem: FST-VIEW.EXE (ver. 2.1.34) will not run and states it needs
         MSCOMCTL.OCX

My Fix:

The following is my experience with the latest version of
FST-VIEW.EXE

History:

I downloaded and unzipped the program FST-VIEW to its own directory.
I downloaded the new upgrade of SETUPWAD-UP.ZIP.
FST-VIEW needs this to run.

The Setup WAD programo put into a TEMP directory and run,
accepting the defaults.
No problems with this install...


Oops Problem:  When you try to run the new FST-VIEW.EXE
This is version 2.1.34

with WIN98 SE I got / you might get the following report:

"Component missing or not properly registered:  MSCOMCTL.OCX"

Seems this should be in you C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  I did not find it.
I scoured the net and found it.  (Your welcome...)

It was available at the following URL for another similar problem with
a program written in VB6.

http://www.livingcookbook.com/support/defect-0117.htm. You can download
MSCOMCTL.ZIP and VBRUN60SP5.EXE here (at present).

Here is how to install it and register
it to the system:

Follow the below instructions exactly and the new
version of FST-VIEW should run fine.

(1) Download MSCOMCTL.ZIP to a TEMP directory and unzip.

(2) Next move or copy MSCOMCTL.OCX to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

(3) Download VBRUN60SP5.EXE TO a different TEMP directory.

(4) Click on and run the above file from within Windows.

(5) Next, click on the Start button, Choose RUN,
    type the following:

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system\mscomctl.ocx

You should recieve a message box stating:

"DLL Register Server in c:\windows\system\smcomctl.ocx Succeeded."

Happy Days are here again !!!

You have now installed the needed file to your system and the wonderful
magic from DIGIACOM is yours to enjoy!

Hope this Helps.

Kind Regards,

Mic.
