Problem Mesh Wizard missing OCX problem

[Grover]

ive been trying to fire up Mesh Wizard to get vector info for my mesh, but i get the Missing MSFLXGRD.OCX error, and opening it doesnt solve it like the readme suggests

is there any way to work around this?

Download the file from here

Copy it to your windows directory

open up a cmd prompt

type in

regsvr32 msflxgrd.ocx

msflxgrd stands for MicroSoft Flex Grid (or similar) and is used by Mesh Wizard. It needs to be registered so that Mesh Wizard can access it.

Are you running the Mesh Wizard with working directory set the same as program's?

Did you try to register the MSFLXGRD.OCX in Windows with regsvr32?

The file doesn't need to be downloaded. It's provided with Mesh Wizard.

so if i copy it from the MeshWizard folder to C;\Windows (win7) then do the CMD command, it should work?

If you are using a x64 system, you have to put the file into Windows>Syswow64, not in just your Windows folder

Yes, and make sure you are running the command promt with admin rights

ok, i tried commanding:
regsvr64 msflxgrd.ocx (im on win7 64 bit)

and it returned
regsvr is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

what exactly do i type in after putting the OCX in the right folder (given by ironrain)

 

[IronRain]

Try this:

regsvr32 C:\windows\syswow64\msflxgrd.ocx

And make sure you are running the command promt with admin rights!!

It doesn't need to. It can be registered from the current folder, i.e. Mesh Wizard's, but then every program using it will look for it in that folder.

Okay.. I had the same problem and that didn't worked for me.. :shrug:

Never mind my last reply, you're right, I was thinking about something different (other file types) :tiphat:
