PB COOL [AON] support

[{FMZ}NYPDSwat]

Alex I didn't get it in the beta, but I am getting the same as Swat in release version. And I also get the one that I sent to you already. It happens at startup.

]
you'll have work out a Vista beta test group to help you Smiley

Looks like I'll be making a patch with-in 48 hours of a release... What am I? Microsoft? lol... 
Ok thanks for the feedback guys... I'm gonna plug away at her again.

Yes I will Swat =D
After some fixes I'll post a link here to get any of you who are willing to give it a test drive so I can address all the errors before I put it on SourceForge and look like a retard

You don't look like a retard every program has bugs this ones is Vista lol

[IB[S.a.n.d.m.a.n]]

Hey guys,

I don't have Vista with which to conduct any tests. I don't have access to any one else's any more either.

If the rest of PBCool functions correctly under your Vista then at-least I have a starting point to start testing.
If either you [IB[S.a.n.d.m.a.n]], or you [[usse]DrLife] would be willing to test a few things for me, then it's possible that I could fix the problem.

It seems to me that Vista doesn't like the ACCESS97 components. PBCool is using DAO 3.51...

If either of you guys have time,
download this: http://alexrs.is-a-geek.com/DAO.zip
Extract the ZIP archive somewhere on your computer.
While logged in as administrator open/execute the BAT file.

Purpose:
Will try fixing dao 351. If it doesn't exist will create it, and register it (it's a self registering active-x/COM ...)

Contents:
DAO2535.TLB
DAO350.DLL
INSTALL.bat

And if you wouldn't mind taking a screen shot of the console when it's done so I know it did... ALT+PRINT SCREEN so that you only capture the console plz

Here ya go Alex,

this is what happened on my vista 63 bit



Also to note after testing this file I edited it to see where all was and where all went, well when I look to the folder your program is supposed to create... when not found I see the folder (on my pc) is there all the time.  Also in the folder is the data that your program should transfer...same size just of course a different date.

After doing this I still get the same error when opening the program.


PM me and I will gladly do more testing for you, and or we can get on TS/xFire/MSN however I can help, just let me know.

Thanks man,

Just for confirmation;

1) Batch claimed: The TLB file didn't exist on your computer
2) Failed to copy it from the Current Dir (folder you opened the .BAT file in) to the destination that I can see in the screen shot (c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\)  because windows couldn't find the source file
3) The TLB file that the Batch script claimed didn't exist actually does exist on your hard drive at: c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\
4) Your logged in / or ran the BATCH script with Administrative User privileges ?

If those files do exist on your computer,
Can you do the following:

Open a Command Prompt console (Start > Run... > cmd.exe)

Code: [Select]

cd "c:\program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\" && regsvr32.exe /U /s DAO350.DLL && regsvr32.exe DAO350.DLL
Just Paste that whole line into your console and hit enter, just right click in the console you should get a context menu with a 'Paste' item (just in case you didn't know)

You should get a message box telling you whether the last command failed, or "DLLRegister Server in DAO350.dll succeeded."
If you get a Successful message can you try running PBCool. And tell me if you get any error message that includes "Can't create ActiveX Object"

Thanks man

I tried that this is what I got

[aLeX^rS]

Well that is very very very Interesting and Very Good at the same time it is bad!

Give me a little while

Please download this:

http://alexrs.is-a-geek.com/DAO350Inst.zip
or here
http://www.virtuosa.com/downloads/DAO350Inst.zip

Extract, and run SETUP.exe in folder 'DISK 1'.

I hope this solves your problem! I suspect it will.

If one will not install on your Vista 64 Bit then no need to try the other, they are the same package. I've just provided you with multiple links in the case one in unavailable when you are trying to download

If this installer won't fix the COM object in your system then I will make PBCool use a different driver version for it's MBL Database when there are problems starting DAO350/1 that I know will work fine in Vista...

Only follow my last post if ur are having problems getting the PBCool Ban List (MBL) to work. If the only error you are getting is an annoying Internet Explorer error then your doing great That problem was just a minor over-sight, I fixed it as soon as it was reported to me, will be fixed in the patch when I get the MBL all fixed up for everyone

=ACES=NYPDSwat[AON] does your MBL work at all? Or do you get MBL errors too?

Ooops! 

When does that happen any way? Every time you move your mouse? Click a button? Scroll down/up ?

* ACE, I sent you a link (in a Personal Message) to a patched pbcool dll, can you try it to see if it fixes your MSIE errors?
