How to run the STHS or STHS Client on Windows 7 or Vista
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 8:28 pm
This is more of a suggestion for STHS Owners who are having trouble getting STHS on Vista than for Simon.
Not sure if this is posted anywhere else, but it worked for me and a GM in my league. I used other posters' suggestions on this Forum as well as some Google help to come up with a way to get STHS to work on Vista 32-bit (might work on 64 as well.. haven't tried it).
Vista doesn't like how STHS registers files, so the following unregisters files, erases them from the system and replaces them with acceptable registries.
-Download the Manual Support File Installation File
-START -> RUN -> cmd
-Type the following line exact (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 /u Comdlg32.ocx
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 /u msstdfmt.dll
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 /u Mswinsck.ocx
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 /u TABCTL32.OCX
-Go into My Computer -> C: -> Windows -> System32
-Locate Comdlg32.ocx msstdfmt.dll Mswinsck.ocx and TABCTL32.OCX and delete them all
-Go into the SupportFiles.zip folder
-Copy Comdlg32.ocx msstdfmt.dll Mswinsck.ocx and TABCTL32.OCX and paste them into the System32 folder
-START -> RUN -> cmd
-Type the following line exact (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 Comdlg32.ocx
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 msstdfmt.dll
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 Mswinsck.ocx
-Still in cmd, type the following (after you should see a succeeded message)
regsvr32 TABCTL32.OCX
-Launch STHSClient
Please let me know if this has helped!
