Everytime i double-click TWRTrainer.exe to start it up and "Component MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" comes up. I cant seem to find the invalid file and have tried everything to my knowledge on what to possibly do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

See if you have it here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64

If you do, try this:

1) Copy it to C:\Windows\system32 and reboot

2) Copy it to the folder that contains TowerTrainer.exe and reboot

 

If you don't have it, shoot me a PM with your email and I'll send you mine.

I'm getting the same error running windows 10.

I tried the above fix and got no joy.

 

I downloaded the mswinsck.ocx file from a third party site, it does not reside on my system anywhere.

I found some instructions that said to stick it in \windows\system32 which I did.

But then it said to register it by pulling up a cmd prompt and typing "regsvr32 -u mswinsck.ocx" then "regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx".

 

After doing that, I got an error that said it may not be compatible with a 64bit system.

 

Any thoughts on how to address this further? I've kind of hit a wall here.

Found the fix for Windows10:

Need to download copies of mswinsck.ocx, msflxgrd.ocx & comdlg32.ocx.

Put a copy of each in the file location \Windows\syswow64 and also put a copy in the folder where TRWTrainer resides.

open a cmd window as administrator.

Type: cd \windows\syswow64

Type: regsvr32 filename.ocx

where filename = each of the above files, one at a time.

Sadly, I am getting the same message and trying to locate files suggested is not helping and trying to download from sources recommended in this forum and via private message have not either. Window 7 Home Premium system. Hard to be a mentor without some of the tools. I'll take more suggestions if available. Thank!

Thank you, Messina! Was able to only copy mswinsck.ocx into syswow64, but register all three successfully. Much appreciated.
