How do I make Gaussx for Windows work on a network ?
This information applies to GaussX for Windows.
Symptoms
Gauss and GaussX are installed on a windows NT network application server. The client NT workstations access Gauss and GaussX by means of a shortcut on the desktop which points to the application server. When GaussX is executed on the client workstation the following error messages occur:
'Run time error 50003, unexpected error' followed by 'Error opening registry key'.
Cause
Under Windows NT 4, the client machine looks for registry and system information on the client machine, rather than the server. According to Microsoft, this is corrected under Windows 2000.
Resolution
1. Export the following registry item to the local machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\econotron\gaussx
2. The following files should exist on the Windows system directory:
COMDLG32.OCX THREED32.OCX EMEDIT32.OCX TABCTL32.OCX MSMASK32.OCX If any of these files is missing, copy the file from the server to the client. These files need to be manually registered using REGSVR32.EXE, which should also be on the Windows system directory. The syntax is:
c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx
