I downloaded the latest TLB installer (version 4.2). However when I try to install TLB, the installer hangs after extracting the file 'tlb.dll'. I attached a screenshot.
This looks like incompatibility with some running software. Maybe antivirus block the registering TLB, try to disable AV software for installation time.
But the simplest way to fix this bug is: create new administrator account, log on with this new account and install TLB. After installation you can delete the created account.
thanks for your answer. I'm on Windows XP SP2. Unfortunately, I cannot deactivate my AV software since it's Norton Corporate...however, I booted XP in protected mode and the AV software wasn't started there, but I still got the same error from the TLB installer. I also tried to install TLB with a new admin account, but it didn't work.
I had installed Free Launch Bar before I tried to install TLB. Perhaps that might be a problem?
I also tried to install order versions of TLB (4.1 and 3.1), but I got the same error.
Any more ideas? Perhaps there is some installer log file I cculd check? Thanks in advance!
I tried your suggestion and the first time regsvr32 was hanging just like the TLB installer. I killed the process and tried again and this time it worked! Won't ask why....afterwards I was able to run the 4.2 installer succesfully
Many thanks for your help! I already purchased TLB, it's very useful for me.
Both the 4.2 and 4.2.3 installer hang on vista ultimate sp1 32-bit. I've turned off uac, firewall, defender, and don't have av installed. I tried creating another admin account and installing. I tried downloading the .zip file in this thread and regsvr32 several times. I've installed windows updates and rebooted. nothing works.
Is there going to be a new beta soon that i can try?
regsvr32 just hangs like the installation. I've tried running it and killing several times and it hangs every time. I even tried it with the new admin user I created.
I've copied the files from a beta installation on an xp machine. Do you have a .reg file that I can import on vista to configure the dll?
I tried to regsvr32 tlb.dll. I attached to the process with VS2008. Process was deadlocked. 2 threads, 1 main thread, 1 win32 worker thread, i don't have any symbols loaded yet, call stack in main thread u3dapi10.dll 3 times, kernel32.dll 2 times, ntdll.dll 2 times, win32 thread ntdll.dll 5 times.
If you can send me debug tlb.dll with symbols I can try to debug some more.
