Hyperboy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Works fine on my Win 8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Ok thanks for that, I asked as a friend said he got a message up about unsigned stuff and unknown developer (or something similar) which I presume was his UAC kicking in. Not had a single thing in Win 7 (but I do turn UAC off) Btw, That Cammy and Chun Li avatar, now that's a Street Fighter film I want to see!

It may not be properly installed" Right-click 'a8_best_gamepack.exe' and run as administrator. OR Move the game pack files to the very simple folder such as 'c:\a8_gamepack'. Please give it a try.

starwindz Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ok thanks for that, I asked as a friend said he got a message up about unsigned stuff and unknown developer (or something similar) which I presume was his UAC kicking in. Not had a single thing in Win 7 (but I do turn UAC off) UAC setting on my Win 7 is maximum but there is no UAC warning message when the game pack starts up. I think it may be a wrong diagnosis by the virus checking program such as Avira. The front-end does not change any system files except for the registry of Atari800Win Plus since the setting of Ataro800Win Plus is only saved to Windows Registry. Please check it out.

Mclaneinc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 As said in a PM my machine was fine, no messages but a friends Win 8.1 update 1 brought up some message about unsigned stuff but the person telling me this is one of those two steps ahead of you when you ask what it said, he had already clicked ok and did not remember exactly what it said. Which leaves me not knowing if its Win 8.1 UAC or some proactive Nortons defence system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Running fine here on Windows 8.0. I did run as administrator. I also want to add my thanks to the growing number of atarians who are enjoying this gamepack. Your work is much appreciated starwindz!

Thanks for your help. @atx4us 1. Do you have this file in your Windows? c:\windows\system32\msjet40.dll 2. What is the language of Win 7 64bit? 3. What is your exact folder name of game pack? 4. Please download the attached file and extract it to the game pack folder. And run 'a8_best_gamepack - test1.exe'. Please let me see the result with message or screenshot. @Mclaneinc Please also test above sequence and let me know the result.

Mclaneinc Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) @Starwindz, when I run it from that I get a OK window saying the full path of the MDB file which is correct, once I click ok I get a message "Provider not found, It may not be properly installed". The gamebase runs but there's no content. The original exe works fine as it did before.. The guy who got a different odd message on Windows 8.1 update 1 has not had the same message again, the gamebase just runs like it should, most likely it was (as said before) Nortons Proactive protection being over sensitive.

starwindz Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) @atx4us The solution is to register attached DLLs manually. 1. Extract a zip file to C:\Windows\sysWOS64 2. Go to Start->Run and type cmd Tthis starts the Command Prompt(also available from Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt) 3. Type "cd C:\Windows\sysWOS64" 4. Now you need to register the OLE DB 4.0 DLLs by typing these commands and pressing return after eachregsvr32 Msjetoledb40.dllregsvr32 Msjet40.dllregsvr32 Mswstr10.dllregsvr32 Msjter40.dllregsvr32 Msjint40.dll Please try it again... msjet.zip Edited June 19, 2014 by starwindz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx4us Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) 1. Please install the MS Access Database Engine 2010 (and reboot your Win 7) (You should install 'AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe') -> When I ran the 'AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe file, a dialog box came up saying that the 32-bit version has already been installed on the system and I need to uninstall MS Office then to reinstall the Access Database Engine. I really don't want to mess with my computer to this degree. 2. Please verify that msjet40.dll is in the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msjet40.dll" directory and register it with RegSvr32(Command line: regsv32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msjet40.dll [Enter]) -> Verified that the msjet40.dll file is present in the SysWOW64 folder. I performed the RegSvr32 command to register msjet40.dll successfully. 3. Run 'a8_best_gamepack.exe' or 'a8_best_gamepack - test1.exe' -> Ran both files and received the same error message still.

starwindz Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 @atx4us I did my best but your issue could not be solved... So strange case... I even have installed the game pack to following OSs, but there were no problem. -> Win XP 32bit, Win 7 32bit, Win 7 64bit and Win 8 64bit I will try to find another possibility of this issue but it is very difficult problem to solve....

Mclaneinc Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The chances are that the issue is directly related to that PC alone . We often uninstall stuff and it takes away bits of other stuff or our virus / malware protection ends up at odds with other programs. I'd deactivate those first just to check, if nothing then I'd reformat and start from scratch as I do every few months just to clear the unwanted clutter from programs I've installed and removed. I like to keep my OS fresh and crap free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you consider this an intriguing challenge that must be solved, I'm ready to give this up myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
