    Hi George,

    The program is written in VB5, so you should not need VS at all.

    It was designed for Windows 95. I have not tried it on Vista or Win7, so that may be the problem (can you install on a VM or as XP?).

    the install script ireads:
    Source: "d:\My Documents\VB5 projects\Logger\Vernier.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSVBVM50.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist uninsneveruninstall
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OleAut32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist sharedfile regserver
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OlePro32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\AsycFilt.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
    ;Source: "e:\VB\System Files\Ctl3d32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\StdOle2.tlb"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSCOMM32.OCX"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\SCRRUN.DLL"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
    Source: "e:\VB\System Files\comcat v471\Comcat.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver

    so there are only 4 files that require regserver.


    4 years later and there are people still interested in your work.
    4 years? I started this in 2005! that's the problem!

    There are new scales out now that do not work with the PIC code (so be warned) At some point (way in the future), when I get one of the newer 21 bit devices I'll add it to the PIC.

    Meanwhile, I get people like aadityadengle waving bs flags at me, because they cant get it working!

    Is does work with the right scales:

    My guess is that you have igaging type scales (or yet another chinese type that I have not seen)

    The Igaging scales are quite different and in some ways better, but they will require a different PIC code:

    (BTW A big thankyou to Shumatech for making their research public :cheers:

    Hi Bill,

    thanks for the answer. I am trying to install it in windows XP. It is apparently trying to register inpout32.dll into the Regserver. will investigate and write back.

    Ah! I think you have the wrong version. The inpout.dll is only required on my POS board. (not sure why it wont install though)

    Give me a day or two and I'll compile a different version

    OK this is a versio without the inpout.dll so should install OK (fingers crossed because I have not got a virgin machine to try it on)
