Flight training software install error-VSOCX32.OCX

[rcalderoni]

Hey guys, new Linux-Ubuntu user (about 24 hours) and new Wine user (about 1 hour). I'm trying to install my flight training software (http://www.dauntless-soft.com/downloads/GSCommercialPilotInstall.exe) and get the following error on install.

"C:\windows\system32\VSOCX32.OCX

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: LoadLibrary failed; code 126.
Module not found."

It gives the options to Abort, Retry, or Ignore.
I aborted the install. I then found the OCX file on my windows pc and copied it to the system32 folder on the fake wine c drive and the same error returned on the next install attempt.

Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm a complete novice and don't know my way around linux or wine but I can follow your guidance and instructions. Thanks for any help.

Try newer Wine version. The one you use is 2 days shy of it's 1 year birthday.

so many people think "Stable" means its not gonna mess up their system or crash... would be nice if it could somehow be marked a bit more clear.

Ok, I got wine updated to 1.1.31 and I get the same error while trying to install the program.

What should I try next guys?

Try copying that dll from windows into Wine's system32 directory.

[rcalderoni]

That was the first thing I attempted. It made no difference and gave me the same error at the same point in the install.

Can you try to register it manually with (regsvr32 VSOCX32.OCX)?

[rcalderoni]

I have know idea how to do that, but if you could tell me how, I'll give it a try.

I gave you the exact command (you can add "wine" at front of it if you'd like). What else do you need to know?

[rcalderoni]

I'm not clear on exactly where you want me to type that command.

Type it in the terminal. Since you're running Ubuntu, that should be somewhere around "Applications->Accessories->Terminal" Or something similar. Open it up and type the command that vitamin provided.

Ok, I ran it in the terminal and it failed to load. Its seems that I would need the file (regsvr32 VSOCX32.OCX) in a specific location on my system for it to be found and run. Wouldn't it? It's on my desktop now. where do I need it to be in order to run the command?

That is what I asked to do in my second post.

[rcalderoni]

I got the software installed but it gives the following error when I try to run it.

Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

@Vitamin- Thanks for reminding me. I reinstalled Ubuntu on Saturday morning and forgot to copy the file to the system32 folder after installing wine. That competed the install.

So what do you recommend for my "run time" error when I try to run the software?

[rcalderoni]

I did a quick search on the forum and came up with a post that has the same error I do. http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=29492&sid=67170c6b4bb671fe6928101551325009

I followed the recommendations that he got, which was to install winetricks vcrun2005 and winetricks wsh56. after running both I got the same error. I then uninstalled and reinstalled, as he was told, and got the error again. Maybe that shouldn't be a surprise considering we are trying to run different programs, even with the same error.

Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

Also, would it be appropriate to start a new thread with this new error now that the VSOCX32.OCX error is solved, or just continue here? Thanks for the help guys.

Terminal output?

I assume you mean the output from running "groundschool" but I run it from the ">applications >wine >programs" menu and don't know the right command to run it from the terminal.
