ImageList from MSCOMCTL.OCX

[theranger53]

I got the following error when trying to open vara configuration after installing onto a raspberry pi 4. Failed to load control 'ImageList' from MSCOMCTL.OCX. Your version of mscomctl.ocx may be out dated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application. I have not seen this error anywhere else in this forum, anywhere else except when dealing with the windows system. I have also been told that it was doubted that it would even work in the debian environment. I know it must work because too many people are using wine for vara install on the pi. Any help would be appreciated.

That's really weird. (And sorry to get to this so late.) The script uses the MSCOMCTL.OCX that is packaged with every new VARA release (...\VARA\OCX\MSCOMCTL.OCX). These are used by VB6runtime. My guess is that maybe winetricks didn't install vb6run on your first installation and then VARA threw a random error about this .OCX file.

I would maybe try re-installing the Winelink script (just re-run it) and see if this fixes anything

This is also happening to me, along with many failures on the install script / hanging. This is with a completely fresh install of Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) I have downloaded the latest vb6 from MS and run it. Same error. None of the programs work and complain about this. I have moved the OCX to windows/system32 and re-registered them (regsrv32). I am following instuctions that have worked for many people so I think this might be something to do with the new OS image ?

I think I may have fixed this in bfdf35ed43291587ad86a2e4a986ddbe21b35d47 after tracking down some problems in issue #72. I believe they're actually the same issue, along with the freezing with winetricks. I'll close this for now since I think it's fixed, but feel free to re-open it.

[TAj-src]

using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WheezyE/Winelink/bfdf35ed43291587ad86a2e4a986ddbe21b35d47/install_winelink.sh and it gets to the point of 'Loading VARA HF now ...' to configure the soundcard and it fails with MSCOMCTL.OCX again.

The first winecfg works. Other VARA's do not. after killing the ahk's and letting it run through the rest, no VARA package works. They all error with MSCOMCTL.OCX error

[TAj-src]

I deleted everything and started a fresh and had a similar but different error , this time it was missing MSCOMCTL.OCX, not 'different'. So I manually registered the version in c:\VARA\OCX and strarted it, while the script was waiting for the VARA GUI to start, so it did the configuration and now things all start.

[WheezyE]

Hm I’ll take another look at this one Can you send me your log file? (~/winelink/winelink.log)

[TAj-src]

This was the script you closed this issue with saying it was fixed. I initially tried the main branch but didn't get as far!

Thanks for taking a look

That’s an older version of the script. Does the latest version of the script install ok?

Yes sorry for that. I replied initially without looking closely enough (I just checked the version number in the blob link you sent). I deleted my comment and then edited another one here. Is there any log file you could attach?

[pe1rrr]

I am also having this issue, since updating my RPI to use the latest kernel via rpi-config the system seems no longer to be able to install properly from the Winelink installer, each time this exact issue crops up.

This is on bookworm upgraded bullseye system.

Now there's an error:

Downloading and installing Box86 . . .
i386-binfmt-P: Could not open '/lib/ld-linux.so.2': No such file or directory

[WheezyE]

i386-binfmt-P: Could not open '/lib/ld-linux.so.2'

@pe1rrr Huh. My guess for this one is that box86 doesn't have the bookworm linux libraries wrapped yet. You might check in with Seb on adding support for bookworm.

This was the script you closed this issue with saying it was fixed.

@TAj-src I've been scratching my head on this for a bit since my installs seem to be ok. I think maybe you could have a broken wine installation. You might try running rm -rf ~/wine ~/.wine and re-running the script

[WheezyE]

VaraChat does seem broken at the moment, but I can consistently get past this stage on bullseye with the latest updates.

[SpudGunMan]

I noticed that OCX files are included with vara release and may need to be registered into wine. it seems the script is full stop now with errors due to COMCTL on loading of the sound dialog which AHK puts into place..

[WheezyE]

I have implemented a workaround for this now: I've added a different install method for VARA HF into pi-apps that relies on registering VARA's VB6 Active X components (.ocx files) manually into Wine. If you have trouble with this in the future, try installing pi-apps and uninstalling / reinstalling VARA HF from the "Engineering" tools menu in pi-apps.

I'm going to close this for now, but feel free to re-open if you run into this again.
