Open a command prompt, navigate it to the directory the OCX files are stored in, and then type:

"regsvr $FILENAME"

...where "$filename" is the name of one of the EHM OCX/runtime files, and hit Enter. Repeat for the other files. This registers them, and EHM should run then. You should only have to ever do this once for each file.

try this:
http://ehm.fhockey.com/resources/vbrun60sp3.EXE
and this:
http://ehm.fhockey.com/resources/ocx_files.zip

the problem may be in OS System
in the properties of the Eastside.exe there should be marked:
COmpatability - Use in Win95 mode

im trying to install freeware and getting "mci32.ocx not correctly registered, a file is missing or invalid". So i tried to register it using what directions i could find on here and the read me from the ocx download but just kept getting another error message. "module "mci32.ocx" was loaded but he call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c" I looked up the error code to no avail.

I'm on windows 10, can anyone offer me some adice.

Are you registering it from an elevated command line (Administrator rights)? Also make sure mci32.ocx is in the right directory path.

I dumped the ocx files in the main eastside hockey manager folder in program files(x86). and i know to right click and run as administrator on comand prompt but when doing it that way im not sure how to navigate to the right folder to do the registry properly.

maybe someone can help and i will forever be in their debt.

ive done everything correctly (as far as I know) which includes downloading both the ocx files and vb. ive put the ocx files into my ehm directory and ive gone into the cmd prompt as admin and registered the 4 files. they all said: succeeded.

when i go to run ehm - i've tried several different compatibilities and tried to run the program (again) as administrator, but still no luck. this is the message im receiving:

Component 'TABCTL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

However, im almost positive i have the file in the right place and correctly registered it as well. what am i missing?

If it says it's not registered, it's not registered correctly. It doesn't even particularly matter where the file is, so long as you register it in that location so the system can find and use it.

It might be worth checking into that the TABCTL32.OCX file you have is not corrupt. It should be 209,192 in size. Maybe try grabbing it from a different source and overwriting, to be sure?

yeah, thats one that i have. and i even tried overwriting it again.

but what i dont get is that when i go to register it under the command prompt, i get this: DIIRegisterServer in tabctl32.ocx succeeded.

I put ehm in its own folder in C: - could that be a problem? Im using windows 10.

C:\EHM\ or whatever should be fine, so long as it's not in C:\ root of course. I run in Win 10 and use C:\EHM\ as my EHM folder.

The only other thing I can think of is that TABCTL32.OCX has some other VB-related library dependency somehow that it can't find. But at this point, it's getting out of my depth I'm afraid.
