AVCampos Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I bought last week a new laptop running Windows 8, and yesterday I was installing the LDraw tools in it. Everything appears to be working well (except LDView's auto part downloader; that must be due to folder permissions), but I can't run L3PAO. it says that SYSINFO.OCX is missing or invalid. I downloaded it from its site, then applied the beta update from here, and tried putting the two required OCX's both on the program folder, Windows\System32, and Windows\SysWOW64, with and without rebooting, and without success. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Can I ask is it the new version of L3PAO (1.09) you are attempting to install? http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3860&t=i&v=a Quote
AVCampos Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 It's 1.9, from the link on the first message on your link. The app itself (old version) installed well, then I copied the contents of the 1.9 zip over it to replace the executable. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Ok,have you made sure you have register SYSINFO properly? Edited February 3, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
AVCampos Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Ah yes, it now worked. Although I had to run the command prompt as administrator, or else REGSVR32 wouldn't work. Thanks! Now, to find a way to enable alpha transparency and radiosity on POV-Ray 3.7 (it worked fine on 3.6, but I want to take advantage of 3.7's multicore capability)... Quote
