Eclipse Library Installer

I recommend you to install the Eclipse Library Files first and see if it works, if it does then you don't need this topic anymore, unless you've another issue left. You can download the Eclipse Library Installer HERE

MAKE SURE TO RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR ON YOUR COMPUTER!

IF YOU ARE USING WINDOWS VISTA:
If you are using Windows Vista and have already installed the Library Files it may be because you do not have the correct VB6 Runtime files installed, you can correct this by clicking downloading and installing them from HERE

Determining your system directory.

The system directory is often needed in this guide, I'll tell you the paths for the system you're using.

If you're running Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or ME, then your system directory should be:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\

If you're running Microsoft Windows NT, then your system directory should be:
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\

If you're running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP (32-bit), then your system directory should be:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\

If you're running Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit) or Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit), then your system directory should be:
C:\Windows\System32\

If you're running Microsoft Windows XP x64, Microsoft Windows Vista x64 or Microsoft Windows 7 x64, then your system directory should be:
C:\Windows\SysWoW64\

Note: in case of 64-bit the DLLs and OCXs provided here might not work. You've two options: either find the 64-bit version of the DLLs or OCXs files or just install them as 32-bit DLLs and OCXs. You might need to put them in C:\Windows\System32\ instead, if that folder exists.


Registering DLL/OCX-files.

This is only required if for some reason the Eclipse Library Installer did not register the files for you, which it should do. Registering DLL/OCX-files is often required if and only if the files are not already registered either by you or the Eclipse Library Installer. You can do this with the 'RegSvr32.exe' application which is located in your system directory. Either drag the files you want to be registered to the 'RegSvr32.exe' or right-click the DLL/OCX-files and select 'Open with...'. Then choose 'RegSvr32.exe' in your system directory. You can then check the box to always open these file types with 'RegSvr32.exe' so that can always double click them like an application and it will automatically register.


Fixing run-time errors individually.

Run-Time Error: 380 - Invalid property value
1. When clicking on a button in the server

2. Unknown action
This error is caused by your server owner not taking into account the graphics limit for Windows 98. The graphics they distribute are too large to work with Windows 98. This happens on Windows 98 computers & Windows ME only as far as I know. The fix is quick and easy.

- Open "tiles.bmp" in the "GFX" folder at the client side.
- Make sure it opens in Paint. If it does not open in Paint automatically, right click on tiles.bmp and click Edit. If that doesnt work, then right click tiles.bmp and go into the Open With... submenu, and if paint is in there, click it, if it isn't, click Choose Program... and click browse, then go to "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and double click on the "mspaint" icon. Then click ok.
- Once in Paint, click Image (ALT+I), Then click Attributes. OR you can just hold control and hit E when you open paint.
- Once in the Attributes menu, edit it to look like the following:
Width: 224
Height: 9728
Units: Pixels
Colors: Colors
- Then click OK
- Then click File, Then click Save. OR hold control and hit S.

If this doesn't work, just try messing with the numbers until its fixed. (temporary)
