Software Trying to use Mesh Wizard (how to register *.ocx on Windows 10)

[misha.physics]

I'd like to try Mesh Wizard on my Windows 10. I've already installed msvbvm50.dll and tried to register two *.ocx files that come with the addon. I tried to open those files with c:\Windows\SysWow64\regsvr32.exe (I found this on the Internet), but something is wrong:



And:



Maybe someone uses this addon with Windows 10, and can help me with this, please.

I think I just put those files in the windows folder. When I get home I can check for sure

 

[misha.physics]

Ok, I'll wait for it.

I would not recommend downloading random dlls off the internet and installing them, or things that mess with your registry.

 

[misha.physics]

I agree, and I probably should have asked for advice here right away.

I put all of those files in a new directory (on my unit the folder is Orbiter Mesh Viewer 1.9) and have had no problems using MeshWizard directly from this folder.

In my cause it causes errors I mentioned above. I'll try this:

I think I just put those files in the windows folder.

It looks like for me that COMCTL32.ocx is windows/system32 folder

 

[misha.physics]

I copied those two files into that folder, but it haven't help. I get the same errors.

Thank you, it helped, I launched the tool.

Oh, sadly I can't open any *.msh file, since I get the error:



And it leads to CTD after pressing "OK".
Could this be related with this?:
"If you get weird error messages, it could be because your system uses comma as decimal symbol."

 

[gattispilot]

Which mesh. I get that if the mesh is HUGE

 

[misha.physics]

I tried:
Vab.msh, deltaglider.msh, Carina.msh...

Décimal symbol séparation must be point " . " not " , " in your Windows paramètres
Is it the case ?

I use meshwizard all the time I love this prog.

 

[misha.physics]

I've already checked my decimal separator and it was comma, so I've changed it to dot and everything is okay now. Thanks to all, I'll try to learn this.

Approaches to "starting an windows application with different regional setting":

• https://superuser.com/questions/159...-application-with-different-regional-settings
• https://superuser.com/questions/384...m-with-different-language-settings-in-windows

both have their pros and cons

 

[misha.physics]

I changed it to dot on my system. Hope it doesn't affect my other programs.

I changed it to dot on my system. Hope it doesn't affect my other programs.

So a quick and very usefull tip:

I'm French (and my english is not so good ), so my computer uses the comma as a decimal separator.

But there is a very usefull little prog: it automatically changes the comma to a dot then opens meshwizard.
And when Meshwizard closes, the Windows system goes back with the comma.

like that no more problem....

its name: EU2US and it can be found here:

I made a short tutorial for installing Meshwizard, EU2US and 2 other programs.
It's in French, but it might help you.
