Sgc1 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Can any one help I keep getting the attached error when installing pinballx on Win7 see photo. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Is it a new install or an update, and what version is being installed (the normal PinballX version or the xp/vista version [32 or 64bit])? If an update try deleting flash.ocx and running the installer again. (i'd also be tempted to click ignore just to see what happens - but that's just me!)

Sgc1 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Would not having Activex installed cause the above issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Does the installation complete after clicking Ignore? If so, try the steps noted here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgc1 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 The instalation completes after clicking ignore, I can delete the ocx out of the Pinballx directory, but the program will not load up at all, I can get into game manager and settings both open up and work OK.

Mike_da_Spike Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Don't you have the log.txt in the same directory ? this should be created after you launch PinballX for the first time. Did you install .net core 6 (see https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet) and also installed the dependencies for W7 ? see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=net60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scutters Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/772054/failed-to-load-the-dll-hostfxrdll.html Looks like you might need to install KB4457144 (or you could try the PinballX XP/Vista version that doesn't use .net core 6) But why a new install with win7?!

PinballX - Windows XP/Vista - PinballX Install - Spesoft Forums (gameex.com) (it's still up to date, so not really an older version - it just uses .net framework) edit - @Draco1962just beat me to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
