Missing file on rail-master start up

[ian_young]

When I start rail-master it comes up with an error message

"Component 'RSTimer.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Any thoughts guys on whats going on?

Have reinstalled rail-master a couple of times but this message keeps coming up!!!

Hi Ian - this is a Windows issue. If you Google RSTimer.ocx you will find details of this function and how to resolve the error if you feel competent and want to do so.. R-

Hello Ian,

 

Did you install from a CD? It is worth trying a re-install using the link at the top of this Forum (no need to uninstall first). This process should re-register the file. Also, have a look in the Railmaster folder to make sure the file is there.

Which version of Windows are you using ?

These instructions for Windows 10 are worth a try ....

1. Open up a CMD window as Administrator. If you aren't sure about this, use the search facility at the left end of the windows taskbar and search for CMD. Then choose Run as Administrator ......

2. Enter these two commands ....

 

cd program files (x86)railmaster

 

regsvr32 rstimer.ocx

Just to add to Ray's reply.

.

Has it run correctly before and this issue has only just arisen or is it as an issue that has arisen from the first time it was ever installed and run. If it has always done this.....read on.

.

When you installed and reinstalled RM. Did you 'right click' the installation file and choose the 'Run as administrator' option. RM will not run correctly unless it is run with administrator privileges.
