Running Optics5 with Microsoft Windows 7 and Vista 64 bit
Last Updated:

Software/Versions Affected:
- Optics›5
In order for Optics5 to run under the Microsoft Vista 64 operating system, several OCX files need to be registered.
We have posted a DOS Batch file here (thank you to Jack de Valpine for creating it) that will register all the appropriate OCX files, called VistaFix64.bat.
- Download the ZIP file and extract the file it contains (VistaFix64.bat) into your user directory (
\users\xxxx
).
*** VERY IMPORTANT ***
- Right click on the VistaFix64.bat file from Explorer and pick "Run as Administrator"
— do this EVEN if you are ALREADY Administrator on your computer !!!!
- Email [email protected] if this does not fix the problem
Here is what the VistaFix64.bat file is doing:
******VistaFix64.bat*******
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\comctl32.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\comctl32.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\mscomctl.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\mscomctl.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\mschrt20.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\mschrt20.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\msflxgrd.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\msflxgrd.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\gridex20.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\gridex20.ocx
regsvr32.exe /u /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32.exe /s c:\windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx
