I didn't really know where to stick this... So somebody can move it if they want to. I have been using Windows 7 for awhile mostly 32-bit until the RTM came out and I switched over. Then I started having problems getting MS to run mostly with DLL registration and since I am not a fan of turning UAC off I was determined to find a work around. For whatever reason I could not register any DLLs or OCX files in the system32 folder no matter what I tried to do, after a few Google searches though I managed to come across the Windows\SysWOW64 folder. By placing the DLLs in this folder and simply running the command in the search bar (regsvr32 C:\windows\sysWOW64\dx7vb.dll) and ensuring I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter (which runs it as administrator) the files were easily registered without a problem and I could continue using my programs I don't know if anybody has had this problem with registering 32 bit dlls in a 64 bit environment but just so everyone knows this worked for me so hopefully it helps somebody else. |

Thanks man, good stuff. I didn't think VB would work in a 64bit environment at all. |

Yeah I am not sure if 2k3 is any different from 7 or not.. I just never knew how to register 32-bit dlls in a 64-bit environment and thought I would share haha. |
