Problem with TS Tools

Post by PWHolmes »

When I try to edit a scenario I get the "Error: #399 Component Superpicture2.ocx or one of its dependencies etc" error.

Please note that I have run the set up program as an administrator and have deleted the program and reinstalled it (as administrator) twice now to the same effect. On both cases I got the following error after installation

"Runtime Error '399': Component MCCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

In spite of the above the program seemed to open OK on a normal run command but I got the "Error: #399 Component Superpicture2.ocx........etc" when I tried to edit a scenario. If I try to run the program on the "Run as Adminitrator" command I get the "Runtime Error '399': Component MCCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Tried that GPTech, when I try to open TS Tools now I still get the

"Runtime Error '399': Component MCCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

message and when I click on OK the program terminates.

I appreciate your help, though.

Right click the TS Tools icon and choose "Run as Administrator", see if that kicks it into life.

Where do you have TS Tools installed?

There are a few reasons why you find that you get error messages re .ocx files in TS-Tools.
1. You have some utility on your system which will not allow you to install .ocx files for security reasons.
2. You have installed either TS2022 and/or TS-Tools in a restricted folder such as Program Files, or Program Files (x86)
3. You have not followed the instructions for installing TS-Tools as follows:-
a. Download the full version of TS-Tools from my web site www.agenetools.com, along with the upgrade to TS-Tools1072.zip
b. Unzip the full version into a temporary folder such as c:\Temp
c. Right click on the Setup file and select 'Run as administrator' from the pop-up menu
d. Select somewhere away from the folders mentioned in 2. above, e.g. somewhere like C:\Railways will do
e. Once this finishes, you will need to install the MWgraphics utilities by just clicking on the box which appears.
f. Now unzip the TS-Tools1072.zip and copy the TS-Tools.exe file into your new installation overwriting the file with the same name.
g. You should now go to the TS-Tools desktop icon, right click on it and go to Properties/Compatibility and tick the box always run program as administrator.
h. If TS-Tools does not run now, I am out of ideas.

I'm not arguing (just explaining why I'm right).
