Re: sqft software

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hello,
This is something I tried after I downloaded this software. After running
GARDEN3.EXE, I got three files -- GARDEN1.CAB, GARDEN2.CAB and SETUP.EXE. I
ran SETUP.EXE and then unzipped the CAB files into the same directory where
I put GARDEN3.EXE.

Then, when I tried to run the software (GARDEN.EXE) I got a message about
two files being out of date, OLEAUT32.DLL and COMDLG32.OCX. Since these are
in use by Windows 95, I did the following:

1) Reboot into safe command prompt. To do this, press F8 when you see
"Loading Windows 95". Choose "Safe Command Prompt".
2) Type CD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
    3) Type REN OLEAUT32.DLL OLEAUT32.ORG and press enter
    4) Type REN COMDLG32.OCX COMDLG32.ORG and press enter
5) Copy the files from the directory where you ran SETUP.EXE. It should look
something like this:
COPY C:\GARDEN\OLEAUT32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OLEAUT32.DLL
COPY C:\GARDEN\COMDLG32.OCX C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMDLG32.OCX
6) Reboot
7) Open GARDEN.EXE

NOTE: Renaming (REN command in steps 3 and 4) these files will allow you to
keep them, should you need them again. Also, I haven't tested all my
software, so I don't know if these two newer files will cause a problem with
any other software - so be careful. If some of your other software doesn't
work, you'll need to reverse the process.

Good luck!
Ruth Morris
