Can't Open OOTP 6

rangerfan · 04-17-2004, 09:41 PM

Ok...here's my issue. Every time I try to load OOTP 6 I get the following error:

OOTP 6.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.

An error log has been created.

My Machine is an HP OmniBook 900 Laptop
P3 - 500Mhz
128MB RAM
Screen resolution at 1024x768

I have turned off 3D and Sound.
Defragged
Run Virus Scan

I use this machine only for OOTP. OOTP 5 still runs fine, but I did notice that the order ID is the same as my OOTP 6. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I also went into the install text file in the OOTP 6 folder and found this:

Could not Self-Register: C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP 6\elicen40.dll
Could not Self-Register: C:\WINNT\system32\elicen40.dll
Could not Self-Register: C:\WINNT\system32\elicen40.dll
User Rights: Admin

Someone please give me some ideas as to how to fix this.

Thanks.

Have you tried uninstalling v6 and reinstalling it? I mean I've got all versions on at the same time and have no issues.

rangerfan · 04-17-2004, 09:49 PM

Yeah...I've tried that. I also failed to mention that I am running Win 2000 PRO.

I am going to check HP's website for any driver updates...install those. Uninstall OOTP 6 and re download the setup file and see if I can get that to work.

rangerfan · 04-17-2004, 10:11 PM

Ok...I uninstalled, unlicensed.

Re downloaded the setup file, and reinstalled and re licensed. Still does not work. I'm still getting the same error as before.

any ideas?

Try this and let me know if it works

OOTP6 Won't Start

rangerfan · 04-18-2004, 12:55 AM

tried that as well...still doesn't work. i'm not quite sure what else to try right now. I know it has to my computer....but not quite sure why I'm having some sort of conflict between ootp and my machine.

rangerfan · 04-18-2004, 10:55 AM

Does anyone know where the error log is stored when OOTP 6 crashes for me? I'm trying everything right now to get it to work.

any help would be apprecaited.

thanks.

Are you possibly behind a firewall or off-line when you try to open the game?

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 08:48 AM

Steve,

I have a firewall on my router. But I have tried it offline as well. Still no luck. I can open it enough to install the license, and then when I hit "launch" nothing happens. Then when I reboot and try to run the game I get the error listed above. I was wondering where I could find the error log so I could make sure I know what is wrong with it.

I've unistalled almost everything off the machine and still no luck.

Thanks.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-19-2004, 09:09 AM

For the off line attempts, have you contacted Via Tch about them

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 09:22 AM

I haven't contacted viatech yet? Do you think it could be a license issue? I can get the license online, but the game won't launch.

I'm still trying to identify what may be causing this. Could there be a conflict with the license?

ukbldodgers · 04-19-2004, 10:27 AM

sounds like exactly the problem I'm having.

Looking through the install log (in the folder the game is in) the elicen40.dll failed to self-register error is showing up.

Can't manually register the DLL using regsvr32.exe either.

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 10:28 AM

Yep...that is the error that I keep getting. Any ideas on how to fix it...if you come up with something let me know.

:-)

Thanks.

Steve Kuffrey · 04-19-2004, 10:50 AM

Not sure but since it is referencing the license file I thought it might be the case.

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 10:53 AM

I emailed viatech...I'll see what they come back with.

ukbldodgers · 04-19-2004, 11:55 AM

Googling has brought up a couple of old posts from when OOTP5 came out that mention some sort of diagnostic/utility from viatech.

Unfortunately I had to read google's cached version of the posts as they don't seem to be on here any more, so there's no proper detail of what it is.

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 02:30 PM

I got a response from viatech...

Please forward your request to the Publisher at support@ootpdevelopments.com

Any other ideas on this. I did see the google thread from the V.5 release where this was also an issue. I don't know if Steve can go back and search for that, but maybe that would shed some light on this issue.

rangerfan · 04-19-2004, 03:55 PM

I received another response from viatech on this issue:

Quote:

The elicen40.dll is NOT a self registering DLL we will notify OOTP Developments of this and to fix this.

I'm not quite sure exactly what this means. Since the error is that the elicen40.dll is not self-registering.

Any more ideas?

ukbldodgers · 04-19-2004, 05:02 PM

It means that the DLL shouldn't be trying to self-register, but the installation program is telling it to.

Therefore a failure to self-register shouldn't cause a problem
