Does anyone have any idea how to get people with 64-bit to properly register GOREsockClient.ocx ?

my best bet is to probably replace GOREsocketClient.ocx

people with Windows 7 64-bit are able to connect with the map editor, but the game client gives them RTE 339 (GOREsockClient.ocx)

Just wondering 3 things

1) has anyone figured out a solution to this?

2) if i remove GOREsockClient.ocx (replace just using winsock), will i have to change anything with the server GOREsockServer.ocx ?

3) how difficult would it be to remove GOREsock, im just not too familiar with the specific topic, so i came to ask

Uh, can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have any problems with the ocx file in 64bit win7 :-/

Nope, there are no problems. We are using windows XP/7 64-bit on most of the dev computers and there are no problems.
I'm at work right now so cant check, but if you are having troubles I'm pretty sure you can use regsvr32 to register the file? If just installing it manually to windows/system32 folder doesnt work.

Disable UAC and then run the command prompt as admin and put GOREsocketClient.ocx in system32 and run:

regsvr32 GOREsocketClient.ocx

we are still talking about vbGORE here right?
I've NEVER been able to show my game to anyone on 64-bit (IIRC)

anyway, a good bud wants to get on to dev and play, but hes on Windows 7 64-bit, we got everything working except GOREsocketClient.ocx

and for registering it. he said he had admin priviliages but idk about UAC

GOREsocketClient.ocx was in the system32 directory
GOREsocketClient.ocx was in the vbgore directory

we tried..
regsvr32 GOREsocketClient.ocx
regsvr32 [System32Directory]/GOREsocketClient.ocx

add me on MSN messenger, we can hook up teamviewer with him

It works fine. when you open the command prompt right click it and run as administrator. Even if your user account is an admin account you still need to run as admin in order to register the ocx. Trust me, it's a good thing.

I use Windows 7 64-bit at work and I have vbGORE running fine. =D

Make sure you run everything as admin. Command Prompt and the likes.

I just tested your game, it works fine on my computer and its windows 7 64-bit, so I'd say you and your friend are doing it wrong ^^

Try turning UAC off, and regsvring the dll in an elevated command prompt (Should say administrator at the top)

Please don't do that part... Simply right clicking cmd and running as admin will do just fine. As annoying as it is, UAC has saved some of my users and I'm a believer now.
