Installing FTBCat gives error

[Barf]

HI

Im attempting to get running FTBCat - a serial control program for Yaesu radios.

I get the following error message

c:\windows\system32\scom60.OCX
Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x1

can anyone advise how to fix this?

Im attempting to migrate to Kubuntu from XP but finding very few of the radio programs i need can be made to run

Barf I guess your radio is not supported by this.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/h ... ted_Radios hamlib

Does scom60.OCX exist. ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 ? I might have my case wrong along that path.

Also there are quite a few native Linux programs Barf. http://freshmeat.net/tags/ham-radio this has lead to very few ham radio operators using wine.

According to that list its supported, its a Yaesu FRG-100. I have the hamlib files.

As for the OCX, im not sure, i dont know enough about it.

I'll take a look at that link, thanks

I am sorry this posting is too late to help your problem, but perhaps it will help someone else in the future:

To solve the error message you are receiving during your FTBCAT installation in Wine:
"c:\windows\system32\scom60.OCX
Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x1"

You will need to find a copy of "mfc42.dll", usually found in the system32 directory of a Windows XP machine into the equivalent directory of your Wine installation. Once you do that, the installation of FTBCAT using Wine will proceed to the end without error. However, the FTBCAT installation in Wine will not work correctly without access to certain libraries.

FTBCAT also needs access to the runtime libraries in "Flash 10 ActiveX Control" and "Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 6 Runtime", although I am not exactly sure how to do this in Wine.
