Hi RainMan,
Your solution works perfect.
However, I had a few questions. Would appreciate if you could kindly take time to advise on the same:
1. I have noticed two registry entries which I feel need to be revised, since they refer to f:\ drive. Could you please take a look at these and advise whether they need a revision in the registry file. If yes, what should they be revised to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{302DC8E2-FAA2-4E96-ACFE-07A3318DCBDD}\1.0\HELPDIR]
@="f:\\Trader\\57 series\\3.10.57.97\\nt5.0\\bin\\release\\"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{302DC8E2-FAA2-4E96-ACFE-07A3318DCBDD}\1.0\HELPDIR]
@="f:\\Trader\\57 series\\3.10.57.97\\nt5.0\\bin\\release\\"
2. Why do I need to run Excel in Administrator mode?
3. Could you please advise in simple terms what this registry file does and how you managed to make it x64 compliant.
4. If I were to make a similar registry hack for another program, what should I be looking for, and how can I do the same. Could you please explain it in a few simple terms? Requesting, since I may need to revise and make something else x64 compliant in the future.
