BaseCamp and MapInstall universal patcher

haute · 8th December 2012, 12:17 PM

The patcher has been created with Visual Basic 6 and seems to require libraries that are not present in the newer versions of Windows7.

I've created and tested on windows7 x64.
If it does not work will not have any VB6 library.

I'm not a programmer and am sorry, no can do better.
I think, the friends of the forum, have solutions to solve this problem.

You would think this would be somewhat easier, but apparently Windows 7 by default does not include this OCX file. However, the link catymag provides only mentions C:\Windows\System32. Problem is, on a 64-bit system a second copy of the file needs to be copied into the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory, then the commands run from the command prompt to register the file.

I have Win 7 pro and the COMDLG32.OCX file was already present in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
My file is there since 10 April 2012, I guess it came with this:

The Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Extended Files include select ActiveX control OCX files, libraries, and tools that are delivered together with the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE media and as an online release

Ditto for me. My Win7_x64 installation is 3 years old this month. COMDLG32.OCX has been in the SysWOW64 folder since 2nd April 2012. I guess i updated Visual Basic 6 some 8 days before you Caty.

Easy answer for this missing file is to update VB it seems.

I took a look at the file list for the VB6 runtime updates and they seem to not have comdlg32.ocx included. With the multitude of updates it's virtually impossible for me to determine which program included the OCX file, but I do have it on my computer, created on 7/22/12. Of course, my version of the file is apparently much older, from 2000.

It's in the manifest shown in the second link posted by Caty:
comdlg32ocx1

I can't deny it. I missed it! However, according to what I've read on Microsoft's site, that file manifest is for a development environment, not a runtime environment on a PC, despite the name. In other words, you can't simply download and install it on a PC.

I have never seen the need to patch BaseCamp or Mapinstall.
If you use a USB pen drive, with nuvi files inside, Garmin programs think you have a Nuvi Connected and will gladly load maps to it.

Sorry but even my network connection speed is greater then USB. I do not say about harddisk. I get the ready for use update of all possible files of CityNav from Garmin faster than copy just one img file to USB.
