How to run the STHS or STHS Client on Windows 7 or Vista

Post by JaykaShman »

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!

The installation of the STHS support file by using either the automatic and manuel way work well since last November I think. The only difficulty is that you need to do as an administrator.

I mentioned that to a GM in my league trying to get STHS Client working on his Vista computer but it still wouldn't load. He received the TABCTL32.OCX is not running / improperly installed. :S

ce poste devrait être placé à un endroit vraiment plus visible. Il est vraiment utile.

J'ai installer un logiciel ce weekend et STHS ne fonctionnait plus ... probleme de comdgl32 ....

Même après avoir réinstaller le supportfile, ça ne fonctionnait pas plus.

Mais après avoir suivie les instruction de désinstallation plus haut, le tout fonctionne à merveille.

Une petite perle ce post !!!!!!

C'est très bien expliquer. Tu n'as qu'a traduire les termes anglophones par exemple (Start = Bouton Démarrer) (Run = Executer)

Here is a batch file I wrote to accomplish the steps outlined above.

Instructions:
1. Download the manual installation version of the support files and unzip them to a temporary directory.
2. Open Notepad in Windows.
3. Cut and paste everything within the Code box below into Notepad.
4. Save it as 'sthsvista.bat'.
5. Exit Notepad.
6. Double-click on sthsvista.bat to run the file.
7. Run STHS and create killer lines that will baffle all opponents!

Code: Select all

@echo off
'sthsvista.bat
'
'Fixes STHS Vista problems
'

echo Unregistering old files...
regsvr32 /u Comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 /u msstdfmt.dll
regsvr32 /u Mswinsck.ocx
regsvr32 /u TABCTL32.OCX
C:
cd\Windows\System32
echo Backing up old files...
move Comdlg32.ocx comdlg32.ocx.old
move msstdfmt.dll msstdfmt.dll.old
move Mswinsck.ocx Mswinsck.ocx.old
move TABCTL32.OCX TABCTL32.OCX.old
echo .
echo Go into the SupportFiles.zip folder that you created
echo Copy Comdlg32.ocx msstdfmt.dll Mswinsck.ocx and TABCTL32.OCX and paste them into the C:\Windows\System32 folder
echo When you are finished,
pause
echo Registering new files...
regsvr32 Comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 msstdfmt.dll
regsvr32 Mswinsck.ocx
regsvr32 TABCTL32.OCX
echo STHS file update finished.
