OLE error, class not registered.

Answer:

 

These messages occur when the software libraries have been overwritten by other software installations. The easiest way to fix them is to re-install the software from the original CD or install setup file, using the following procedure:

The example below is for Visual Cash Focus.

Tip: It is best to do this procedure with full administration rights.

If the software is installed on the local C drive (see below for network installations).

    • Rename the c:vcf8 folder to something else, for example c:\vcf8now.
    • Install the software from the CD or install setup file into the c:\vcf8 folder.
    • Delete the c:\vcf8 folder. This step may surprise you - during step 2 all the libraries that are required by the software were installed. Deleting the vcf8 folder does not delete those libraries, which we wanted to install.
    • Rename the folder you created in step 1 (for example c:\vcf8now) to c:\vcf8.

     

All should now work OK.

If not, it may be a rights issue. You may have to repeat the installation as administrator.

If the software is installed on the network:

 

  • Run the net.exe file from Windows explorer, which is in F:\vcf8\net\ (assuming F is the network drive). Be sure to change the directory suggested from C: to F: (assuming F is the network drive - change to the appropriate letter for your installation).
