Experience has shown that the batch
files do not always succeed. We have found a superior solution: side by
side deployment. To implement side by side deployment: [Note: the new
Demo for Vista includes this package in the installer. ]
Install E-Z HEATLOSS .
Download
Manifest.exe , a self-extracting ZIP file which
will extract the files to the default working folder.
For E-Z ESTIMATOR:
Install E-Z ESTIMATOR.
Download
EZESTManifest.exe, a self-extracting ZIP
file which will extract the files to the default working folder.
These solutions consist of a manifest
file created with from the VB6 Project with MMM.exe and
the vital dependency files. This method eliminates the need
to register the ocx files.
Download the batch file which matches your registration failure. Save
it to your Desktop & double click it.
This is a one time procedure whose
benefits will remain in effect until E-Z HEATLOSS is uninstalled.
If you are behind a corporate firewall which bans downloading
executables, copy the required commands,(below)
paste them into
WordPad, save them to your Desktop as DLLFix.bat and double click it.
Some
versions of Windows Vista fail to register certain system
files
correctly. As of November '08, this issue has involved two files:
comdlg32.ocx
comctl32.ocx.
When this failure occurs, ez.exe will not run or will crash when you
attempt to open a file. The correction for these conditions involves
using regsvr32, a resident Windows Utility, to register the file
'manually'. The repair is performed using the run command or
the
command window with this syntax: substitute the name of the
unregistered file for filename.
regsvr32 /u filename
regsvr32 filename
eg:
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
Regsvr
will do its thing and flash a success message. If the file you
registered was the only one involved, ez.exe will then run.
If
not, you will get another unregistered file error message. In that case
it will be necessary to register the second file substituting its name
in the call to regsvr32.
You will need
Administrator Privileges to perform this task. If your computer is part
of a corporate network, you must either obtain the Administrator
password or persuade someone who has it to perform the task for you.
To ease the process for you, we have created two batch files, one for
each of the two file registration problems reported to us. These batch
files bear the primary file name of the file to be registered.
Download the batch file whose name corresponds to the file
named
in the error message you received when the program crashed.
If your file is not listed here, download either batch file to your
Desktop and edit it, replacing the name of the file to be registered
with the name from your error message.

Navigate to the Desktop and open the batch file,
make the edit and save it.
