i believe this is a architecture/dependencies problem

to answer your question:
i have run the game/installer/mod manager all as admin.

@shiverblade:
32 or 64 bits on both your win7 and vista?

i finally found a way to list the dependencies of a module. with the program called "dependency walker"

it showed 2 errors and a warning:

Quote from Hellraiser

How do u register a file anyway?

run > regsvr32 Path\to\file.ocx

still no change

downloaded the file, said there already was a msinet.ocx in syswow64. so i didnt overwrite it

so i tried run "regsvr msinet.ocx" it said the path was not found so i ran "regsvr C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msinet.ocx" said it succeeded. tried running FL, same error as in the beginning

so i overwrited the file with the download and tried again. same problem

so i tried downloading the msinet.ocx into the system32 folder. it said there was one already there as well. except there wasnt. that really confused me
so i manually put the downloaded msinet.ocx in there, registered it, ran fl, and still get the same issue

reinstalled fl, ran the crossfire installer and mod manager as admin. same result. is there a way to see the dependencies of msinet.ocx, where they are, and if i'm missing any?

initial attempt running freelancer.exe in compat mode failed
which exe is the launcher?

which exes should i run in compatibility mode?

---------------------------
CF Launcher
---------------------------
Component 'MSINET.Ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

i have used search to find many threads dealing with this problem. i have tried all tips provided, including:
that regsrvr thing, also running it as admin
reinstalling vb runtimes
running fl as admin and not

so i thought i should start my own msinet.ocx thread

OS: windows 7 build 7600 64 bits
the freelancer installation is fresh. not patched, installed today, crossfire the only mod ever activated
