Cannot open PS anymore

[Abev]

I have tried to outsmart winxp and PureSim at every turn. But the tandem of Gates and Sullivan has got the best of me...so far. I may have lost the battle, but I will win the war.

I thought it would be nice to uninstal PS 2005. BIG MISTAKE. Now After uninstalling, restarting, installing, I get the "PureSim has detected that not all components have been installed properly". I have done this several times (5?) and still have no luck. Once I even got "there was a problem with your serial number, contact matrix games".

So I am unable to play PS. I even went as far as, after several attempts of uninstalling/reinstalling, to remove all instances of PS from the registry. I know, scary place. But what else could I do?

Try this:

- Uninstall PS 2007.
- Reboot.
- Reinstall PS 2007.
- Reboot

Try this:

- Uninstall PS 2007.

- Reinstall PS 2007.
- Reboot

Thanks Shaun, Been there, done that. I wasnt clear in the first post. Thats what I was doing.

Originally I was getting the error "not all components installed properly...Assertion failed on line 0", now I get "not all components installed properly...Assertion failed on line 9". Making progress? [:D]

Also, PS does not appear as a program available to be uninstalled in add/remove programs. One other things sems strange; when I install PS and it asks where to install it, the file box is blank e.g does not have a path, I have to choose it.

Kinda scary.  Seems like it wanted you to uninstall PS2007 first, then PS2005.   Flat out intimidating.

Shaun I gotta think that either I deleted a dll or ocx manually or with the uninstall of ps2005. Is there a simple list of those files that I should have? Whatever controls the file list dialog (no default install path) doesnt pop up. No entries listed in add/remove programs. When I try to start PS, I get the lahman ldb (so *something* was executed) then I get the err msg. I am a bit stumped

Based on that error message try this:

1. Drop to a command prompt.
2. Type: cd "\Matrix Games\PureSim Baseball 2007"
3. Type: regsvr32 zlibocx.ocx

Abev I feel your pain.

I've tried everything.
I just downloaded the latest patch and nothing! [:@]

Please Shaun help us out!

My computer knowledge has apparently regressed several years.

I kept installing the patch, instead of main PS. I thought b/c of the size the patches still had all the ocx's and dll's I would need. WRONG. As usual, the error is with the user.

Just in case, whoever else has a problem, make sure you install the main 160g PureSim NOT the patches! [X(]

I should have thought to mention that. I'm just glad you are up and running -- and thanks for posting this, as it may help others.
