Using SBuilder 2.05 on window 8.1 will give error messages because the necessary files are not in windows 8.1miljan wrote:Share with us how did you manage to do that as I am about to install it as well on win 8.1.

You need the following VB6 runtime files: comdlg32.ocx and tabctl32.ocx
You can find these files in the "Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6 Cumulative Update" called "VB60SP6-KB2708437-x86-ENU.msi"
This file can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=7030
Don't install but the extract (winzip, winrar, ...) from the msi; comdlg32.ocx and tabctl32.ocx and place them in the "C:\windows\SysWOW64" folder.
Then you have to enter these files in the registry:
(Windows key, type CMD, right click, open as administrator)
change current directory to SysWOW64 by typing;
CD c:\windows\SysWOW64
then type at the prompt:
regsvr32.exe comdlg32.ocx and hit enter
regsvr32.exe tabctl32.ocx and hit enter
Now SBuilder 2.05 should work in Windows 8.1
