Setup BD-RB with Win 7

[Capsbackup]

Have you tried jdobbs suggestion, found on page 2 of this thread, from post # 22 and continue reading?

I have tried all suggestions found here..
But the problem is solved now, I managed to save the FF_CONFIGURE.BAT before it disappeared and made these changes manually (the only way to get it to work), so now it's up and running..

What I have had to end up doing to avoid the lang.xml error or others, is to use the Windows Command Line Processor (old DOS window), and start this w/ right click - Run as Administrator - then navagate to BD Rebuilder's directory (useful trick - when changing directories - type first letter of wanted directory (on target drive) then use 'Tab' key- it will jump through all directories starting w/ that letter, one by one, until your desired one pops up - then continue) once inside BD Rebuilder - locate "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" (tab key works also for file names) - then simply run the batch file - no issues - for me at least...

Cheers...

I clicked on BD-Rebuilder and then right clicked Administrator and I am still getting the mscomctl.ocx error. I offloaded the software to recycle bin and re installed BD-Rebuilder and the reg..,bat file was right clicked on first and ran as administrator and still got the same error message. I even have this as sucessfully loaded in in cmd under regserver32. Still the same error message..,Any cures for this in 32 bit Win 7? Desperate in Vegas.

Right click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" in the BD Rebuilder folder and "Run as Administrator". Normally MSCOMCTL is registered on Windows 7 as a part of the Win7 installation -- but on rare occasions it isn't there. I've never been able to figure out why.

Didn't work for me: failed...

You also need to right click on BDRB.exe and select "Run as Administrator". ( Just the 1st time )
I would recommend placing the unzipped folder of BD-RB on the desktop or directly in C:, not in the Windows Program folder.

Thanks. It did work.

Here is where it gets weird. Open up regedit, and double-click on {31435641-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}

Change it (the value inside the key, not the key itself) to something else (regedit won't save non-edits).

After that, it's fine, BD-Rebuilder can do its thing. The weird thing is, no matter whether it's the AVC, VC-1 or MPEG-2 codec you changed in Win 7 DS Filter Tweaker, it is the {31435641-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} key (AVC) that must be re-saved before BD-Rebuilder is able to fix the VC-1 / MPEG-2 keys and all the ffdshow settings.

At least you know what to look for now jdobbs! Run the tweaker program. It won't mess anything up, I promise (well, other than present this bug/issue to you).

Remember it's not only Win 7 DS Filter Tweaker that may do something like this that prevents BD-Rebuilder from fixing it. Seeing as regedit (or FF_RESET.BAT) works to fix it so BD-Rebuilder can fix the settings again, i'm a bit baffled. Is it a permissions issue or not? Hmm.

I have the same problem and bd-rebuilder cannot get around the vc-1 issue due to it, I can't seem to fix the registry, ffdshow changes the parms but it gets changed back and so I went with alternative methods to get the issue resolved.

YES win 7 64 bit issues is the problem, but it would be nice to get a simple fix for it

I decided to try the Ultimate edition RC, since it was free, and if I did not like it or it did not seem worth the upgrade price, it would expire soon enough and only a few hours would be waisted. ( waisted plenty in my time! )
Well, all installed fine, and after searching around for updated drivers for some hardware, all was a go.
Now trying BD-RB, all is not so well.
I can't seem to get it to even start up, I get this error:
"Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
I try the fix - "Look in the BD-RB folder. There is a .BAT file called "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" -- simply right click onit and run it as administrator."
But then I get this - The Module MSCOMCTL.OCX failed to load... So this does not work for me.
Can BD-RB run with Windows 7 RC?
How else can you get rid of this MSCOMCTL.OCX REG issue just to get BD-RB to start?
After reading back numerous pages, I can't seem to find out what to do next. Any help is sure appreciated.

EDIT:
OK, I got it to work by right clicking on BD_Rebuilder and selecting "Run as Administrator", which it then set up ffdshow for me, and now it starts up.
Off to try out a backup!

I had to reinstall M$ because I got in my new Gigabyte mobo Monday. I hate M$ security. I have to go find all the things I found before to stop M$ from this or that file change from happening.

In any event, right-clicking on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and running as administrator will always fail, because when run as administrator, the regsvr32 program is started from within the c:\Windows\system32 directory. MSCOMCTL.OCX is not in that location. If you right-click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and click on OPEN instead, it will fail because you aren't admin. Which is fracking stupid because I am the only user on the system. Damn M$ permissions. We're M$ and we are trying to protect you.

So, I did the trick of right clicking on BD_Rebuilder and selecting "Run as Administrator." That worked. I think there should be text added to the readme for doing this trick in the installed location. Or, an improved BAT file that can get at the file in the OCX file in the installed location.

I do not remember having this bad of an issue the first time I installed it. Maybe I had frack'd with the permissions before installing BDRB.

check the BOLD NOTE under item 9 in the setup instructions

Note to Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry.

No need to add when it's already there

Argh!!! And to think I read the readme before posting and still missed that paragraph.
