Fantasmagoria Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hello all, I am having a lot of trouble in installing Lock on Gold (Euro version) to Windows Vista 32bit Ultimate. (Yes I know its crap but dont have choice right now) In last phase of installation process of Lock on, I get error message "could not register msxms.dll. Use prohibited" (error message translated here , using finnish version of Vista). I have latest drivers, patches, and hard disks are checked with diagnostics tool and are error free. I am running the install in XP2 compatibility mode, with sysadmin rights, and I still get the message. When I try to install it to older machine of a friend which has XP, no error messages none so ever so CD should be ok. Any ideas or workarounds for this? Many thanks in advance Sys specs: Geforce 8800GTX Asus p5b deluxe 4GB ddr2 ram WD Raptor 150GB HDD E6600 Core 2 Duo Soundblaster Xtremegamer soundcard -Fantasmagoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spugnut Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Not sure, but make sure that the msxml.dll is present in the system32 directory, then go to 'run' and enter 'regsvr32 msxml.dll' Even if it fails, it should produce a different error message that will give more clues as to what's going on.

The only way I can make this toupee to stay on is by magnetizing the entire upper left quadrant of my skull, so you just go ahead and do what you do.

Prophet Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I believe I got that error. If you just pretend that error doesnt come up, is it installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantasmagoria Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks for replies so far folks, Yes, the program installed but when I tried to run it, I got different error message "Program has caused runtime error etc...." and locks up. This applies to running vanilla lock on, lock on flaming cliffs, and patched up versions. (tried them all). I have also tried running program in compatibility mode with admin rights. -fantasmagoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Are you running both the autorun command AND the installer package as administrator? Also you shouldnt have to run it in compatibility mode for Windows Xp Sp2. And Ill have to digress from your opinion that Vista is crap...its better than XP in alot of ways, weak in drivers now, but that will soon change.

Fantasmagoria Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 I finally got it working in most odd way. I have to start the application from CD's autorun feature. If I use the shortcut from game directory it wont work, but the CD autoruns "start" works. I dont get it how it is possible as the both shortcuts have exactly same properties though. In any case thanks to replies folks, much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
