Runtime Error 429

[ffedriver]

Trying to start up my puresim and getting the aboive runtime error. Could someone give me a suggestion to what to do. I was trying to update the v 1.20 and it said it couldn't do and then gave me this error. Please advise. Thanks Mark

The best thing to do would be:

1. Re-boot
2. Re-install 1.20 update
3. Re-boot
4. Launch game

Shaun I tried that now it is telling me that version 1.0 is required and i don not have that zip file anymore. What else can i try...

[puresimmer]

You should be able to download the 1.0 install from the members area I think. Did you uininstall 1.0 before putting on 1.20? If so, don't do that next time, simply install over it.

[ffedriver]

It is only showing the 1.20 patch there not the 1.0 ... is there somewhere else to look by any chance?

I have the same problem.

Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object.

I did the reboot, reinstall 1.20, reboot, still get the same message

[puresimmer]

Did you change something on your system?

At one point (exactly) do you get the error?

[Silverbullet]

I installed the Sims2 series and have been downloading custom content for their games.

After I click into the game.

Silver, can you try the diagnostic version of PureSim (see instructions from this thread http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1091458

[Silverbullet]

Where do I find the puresim 2k5.exe to change it ?

[puresimmer]

If you installed to the default location its in:

c:\Matrix Games\PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition

[Silverbullet]

OK
I sent it to you.

[puresimmer]

Hmm. Never got it, can you send it again?

[Silverbullet]

It looks like it went thru this time.
Thanks Shaun

[Silverbullet]

Shaun did you get it?

[puresimmer]

Yea, I replied via email way back around 4/1.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is just the first of many, but I can at least tell you that the component failing in this case is zlib.ocx.

Try this. Go to a command prompt and change into your "c:\Matrix Games\PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition"

Run this command from the command prompt: regsvr32 zlib.ocx

The strange thing is, the install does all of this, so I wonder if there is something else conflicting on your system.

Shaun: I had the same problem, and I've had it in the past with PureSim (i've played since 2002 off and on depending on my time constraints). When I ran that command in the puresim directory, it came back with:

LoadLibrary("zlib.ocx") failed - The specified module could not be found.


I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling three times, and still the same thing. I don't know if my computer isn't taking that file or what, but is there any solution to this, other than finding it from a friend or another source?

[puresimmer]

Whoops sorry!

the command should be:

regsvr32 zlibocx.ocx
