Does anyone know if Taher Salem's Ultra TC Editor Tools (still) work with TC 9.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, No
Re OP - well, yes and no.
On one of the two machines I have here, UTCEs work, seemingly as intended.
On the other, the install program dated 1998, setup.exe, crashes repeatedly, twice at each attempt, and not even Win10Pro's Troubleshooting routine can save it.
When they work, they work well, even though they're among a growing set of aging TC add-ons - dated early 2011. It seems that development and update has ceased by mid-2017.
BTW, does anyone know how to avoid a setup.exe and work with a .lst file and a .cab file to get something installed?

Re: mscomctl.ocx
Here are my experiences on this topic.Phred wrote:BTW, does anyone know how to avoid a setup.exe ...
I downloaded this file: ultra_tc_editors_640_beta_1.rar from here: http://totalcmd.net/plugring/ultra_tc_editors.html
and extracted the folder "Ultra TC Editors" for portable use.
Then the problem with "mscomctl.ocx" arose:
After calling the Button Bar Editor.exe I got the error message (using TC 9.0a - 32 bit + 64 bit):
Run-time error '339': Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
Solution for me was the following --- using TC 9.0a - 32 bit + 64 bit, Windows 10 Pro (x64) Version 1703 (Build 15063.332)
1- Search for file "mscomctl.ocx" on your PC [with TC using Everything] OR see the link at the bottom (download and integration)
2- I found this file here: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\vfs\SystemX86\mscomctl.ocx 1.070.232 08.12.2015 01:57:31
2- File-Version: 6.1.98.46 and copy this file to folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3- Manual registration of the file is required --> DOS, Admin Prompt required... viewtopic.php?p=304061#304061
3- Button "DOS Admin Prompt / Administrator!" as follows can be used
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
*%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe
/K CD /D "%P"
%COMMANDER_EXE%,2
Admin Prompt (Administrator!) |Exit from DOS window: exit <ENTER>
0
-1
4- Confirm UAC prompt (user account control) query with click on the "Yes"-Button ... DOS-window appears *)
5- Insert the following into the DOS command line: Regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscomctl.ocx (copy/paste) then press <ENTER>
6- Exit from DOS window: Type in "exit" then press <ENTER>
*) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
-- Command Prompt windows that are running elevated will prefix the title of the window with the word "Administrator",
-- so that a user can discern which instances are running with elevated privileges.
E.g. Button Bar Editor.exe and other Ultra TC Editors programs to call should then be possible without error message!
The Ultra-TC-Editors 6.40 Beta 1 programs are accessible using TC 9.0a 32bit + 64bit.
When changing from TC 64bit to TC 32bit, settings such as language must be made again.

Ref.
Thanks, tuska. Fortunately, I found that I could avoid setup.exe in the Ultra Tools by treating the embedded exes as portable. They now work nominally.
Perhaps my mscomctl.osx was already registered.
But your note can serve well as a reference.
Thx.
