Admin Command Prompt help

sticker

HI All,

This is probably a silly question, but I need a little help with entering code in command prompt in windows 10.

I use an old Microsoft App called Photodraw and want to install it on my new windows 10 PC.

I have the insataller and article on reddit :
https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3g2ij6/psa_how_to_get_microsoft_photodraw_v2_office_2000/

How do I enter the code in command prompt?

DO I copy and paste one line at a time and hit enter?

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB"
regsvr32 MSOLAP.DLL
regsvr32 MSMDCUBE.DLL
regsvr32 MSMDGDRV.DLL
regsvr32 MSOLAPUI.DLL

when i start command prompt I see this to begin...

C:\Windows\system32>

Thanks!

In the command prompt type:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB"


... and hit enter.

You will see the current directory change.

Then type each of the rest of the commands

igCorcaigh

Yes, you can copy each line and paste into the command prompt

igCorcaigh

You may have to open the command prompt with admin privileges... Right click on Command and Run as Administrator

It doesnt seem to work - see video below.

Can you find those DLL files in this directory?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB

I get a loading icon for a few seconds and then nothing...

I'm on my phone now, I'll check in later.

But funny how you don't get an error after the reg command

Sorry to disturb. Any further ideas on how I can resolve this?

If you can't get it to work, Paint Shop Pro 7 free edition from back around the same time works just fine on Win10, and it has a similar featureset. Just remember if you're on a hires display to tell its Compatibility settings to adaptively scale the PSP7 UI.

Have you tried opening the command prompt with admin rights (run as Administrator)?

Yes, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and tried again, its so frustrating, I've a ton of .mix image files so I need this to work!

igCorcaigh

No error messages at all?
Have you tried Help on the regsvr command?

Once I click on the Photodraw launcher or a .mix file, I get the loading icon (hour glass) and then nothing happens - no error window. Nothing!

How do I do the regsvr command?

Open the command prompt in admin mode.
Type help regsvr32
See if you get usage instructions

DLLs have different versions. You need the correct version for the software you want to use. Also they often need other DLLs to work. A family of DLLs all compatible with each other.

You can't just install them at random. You need to find out the correct versions and their dependencies.

beauf

You have run it in compatibility mode also.

Find the shortcut for Microsoft Photodraw V2

Right click

Properties

Compatibility

Choose Windows 8

It looks as if people have gotten it working but I know even the various releases of windows 10 can have significant changes when it comes to things like this.

OK, try again and provide the name of the dll you want to register.

Make sure you open the command prompt in admin mode.

Tried that and it did not work... I've done a full install and did the command prompt as per top post here again.

Maybe I should uninsatll and fresh install and try the solution without the command prompt entries? or are these important to do?

I think the four DLL's are properly registered - otherwise there would be an error message of some sort on opening the application.
The issue is either a missing file/location ( as mentioned in the first link in my post above) and/or the need to run the app in compatibility mode.

I've tried compatability mode for windows 8 - it did not work...

Very frustrating!!

Can you confirm whether or not you have the app configured to run in Win8 Compatability mode?

Can you select another option for compatability mode? (XP SP3for example?) And select the tick box to "Run this program as an administrator"
Failing that and a restart, have you tried running the compatability troubleshooter?

Should I try a fresh install and NOT do ther command prompt entries for the missing DLLs or is this a necessary step?

I've aded thie file as per these instructions:

For 3D

The file is: d3drm.dll, and it can be found at http://www.anarchia.com/dettagli-gratis/File-D3drm-dll-4850.html
Put it in the Windows/Program Files (X86)/Microsoft/Office/ folder (you will probably have later Office folders - such as Office 16. This one simply says Office). You will also see there a PhotoDraw folder - you don't have to worry about that - simply put it in the Office folder.
3D now works.

It seems that the DLLs are needed...
I just find it odd that regsvr32 is not giving any information back.

Have you checked the event log for error messages?

The DLL's look to have been registered though - otherwise I would have expected an error or three on application startup.

Seems that those DLLs failed to register.
Try a Windows update and restart?

Anyone help me resolve this?

Thanks!

The_B_Man

I'm not familiar with PhotoDraw. Is it part of Ms Office?

Like its saying in the error:
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\PHOTODRW.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO9.DLL

So do you have to have the rest of MS Office installed too?
what happens if u type
regsvr32 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO9.DLL


BTW, there might be 2 versions of regsvr32:

Note On a 64-bit version of Windows operating system, there are two versions of the Regsv32.exe file:
The 64-bit version is %systemroot%\System32\regsvr32.exe.
The 32-bit version is %systemroot%\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe.

Since your files are in "C:\Program Files (x86)" and therefore 32-bit, you might try the 32-bit regsvr32.

sticker

Hi,

Photodraw is a stand alone graphics app like an early photoshop.

I'm not that proficient with coding or registry entires so I might need a little hand holding..

Can you clarify what the next step to try is pelase.

THis is what appears when I type that code you suggested:

The_B_Man

try
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office\MSO9.DLL"

with the quotes, as there is a space in the file path.

BTW, when you originally installed PhotoDraw, did you install it under compatibility mode with Windows 8? Or did you just click and run the installer? It might be an idea to right click the installer and go into Properties and set compatibilty with windows 8 and try again. It might save you some hassle in the long run.

Hi See below video for fresh install under compatibility mode with Windows 8

Your windows version is not on S-Mode or anything is it?
Is this a new machine?

Its a brand new machine - Not sure... How do I check?

Thanks

SteelyDanJalapeno

You can check whether you're using S Mode by heading to Settings > System > About. On the About page, scroll down to the “Windows Specifications” section. If you see the words “in S mode” to the right the Edition entry, you're using an S Mode PC.

Do you still have access to the "old PC"? Or a working copy of the app?
