Hello!

I get the following message when I try to run Prince.exe on my machine.

Component "COMDLG32.OCX" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

This i get on windows 7 (the new windows opearative system from windows)

Should it work on windows 7?
Someone have any any soultion for this?

we found this problem earlier:

We found the file in the Prince folder but had to register the ocx file using regsvr32 while running from an elevated command prompt. Now it works. Perhaps there is an issue with installer permissions.

Iam no sure what u really ment there. Beacause when i install the exe file i dont get any error messages.
Have read i few topics on the forum but it isent the same problem like they had


How do i fix the permisson so that i can get the program working?

1. verify that you find the COMDLG32.OCX in the Prince folder
2. start/run/"cmd" (get the command prompt)
3. cd c:\Program Files\Prince (at the command prompt ..
change directory to where Prince is installed)
4. regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX (will register the OCX file)
5. you should get a message saying file is registered
6. try running Prince again

Hope this helps

thanks for replying.

It did not work


Got this error message

THE MODULE COMDLG32.OCX WAS LOADED BUT THE CALL TO DIIRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c



Have any other soultion?

This OCX file is only used by the Prince GUI, so if you're okay running Prince from the command-line or calling it from other code you can use the command-line application found in Engine\bin directly.

you can try registering

MSCOMCTL.OCX and
MSVBVM60.DLL

I didn't have a problem with it. I will check some more for you though.

Hello ppl!

I fixed it

I must have full administrator privleges.
Then register the file and it should work.


Have to do it both in Windows vista and Windows Xp.
