I just reinstalled XP, did all the updates, begin installing my software....and am getting error messages telling me that this or that OCX file is missing! Sure I can individually download hundreds of OCX files until I get them all....or I can throw my computer in the trash and be done with it. And do you think Microsoft has a nice little area you can go and download all of the OCX files in one handy dandy installer....NOPE! OBIO

And which OCX file are you missing?

Maybe its telling you that it is time to upgrade to W7. :salute:
No silly it would still be missing from W7.
MSINET.OCX is a visual basic runtime file that is not included in the Windows OS. Some packages that might be installed might install the necessary files with their built in installer but that is not the case with FS Metars
If the file is not in C:\Windows\System32 folder move it there.
Then restart if that does not fix the problem then you need to register it like leroy10 suggested.
It should be as easy as entering
Code:
regsvr32 MSINET.OCXIn the command window or the run box (never did it that way)
Update to Win7.....yeah, this old system ain't gonna run that very well. Beside, ACM won't run under anything newer than XP and I use the heck out of that program. Leroy: I tried that...and got a message telling me that the selected file was not an executable file and that no registration helper is registered for this file type. OBIO
In the FS Metars folder there is a FAQ.txt file with no instructions other than how to down load the files.
You already have msinet.ocx but you will need mscomctl.ocx and comdlg32.ocx down load both of those files.
Extract the .OCX files from the each cab file and put them in the C:\windows\system32 folder.
For each one enter the below command into the run box on the start menu. That should fix it.
regsvr32 mscomctl.OCX
regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX
regsvr32 MSINET.OCX
I recently installed XP as well and had to add all three just now to get it to work.
